Great Live numbers 20m wonder how many of those are gold?

before the NXE launched, it was like 50% - 55%. With the NXE the number of gold accounts increased siginificantly. That's what MS stated last year. So 60% might be a good guess.

So 12 million PAYING users. Insane. Think about it: 12 million * $50 (probably more, because of exchange-rates)  = 600 million USD / year! And thats just the fees.

There are:

• Arcade games
• DLCs (Fallout, Fable, Tomb Raider, GTA IV just the highlights for this year)
• VoDs
• Themes

So 1 billion (!!!) USD revenue confirmed? I know it is not profit, but THIS is huge.
