I wonder how they count Xbox Live users. I have not paid for a couple of years but still get my monthly email updates (to my computer) about Xbox Live.

Also, 30M is an important milestone. This will mark the first generation that more than one console has passed the Atari 2600 level of success (the Genesis just missed). So Microsoft should be congratulated.

Similarly, the number shows that VGC tracking is pretty close - and worth far more than what we pay for it.

Of course it counts Silver members.

Are you sure?..

Yes. Unless otherwise specified as current Gold members, then it includes each and every Live enabled gamertag. It's the same thing when Sony merges PSP and PS3 PSN accounts.

I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox Live accounts are included in this as well.
