| HappySqurriel said: Johnlucas ... You're missing the fact that XBox live subscription numbers are heavily inflated. If I remember correctly, starting in 2003 every XBox was sold with a 3 month free subscription to XBox live which (when activated) Microsoft counted as an XBox Live subscription; even if users allowed it to lapse later it was still counted. With the XBox 360 XBox Live Siver accounts are considered XBox Live subscriptions; it isn't surprising that more people find value in game demos and inexpensive XBox Live Arcade games than online multiplayer. |
Well that's even worse then, isn't it? Wow.
Since I've never had any XBoxes I have no reference point so I just use the sourced information from Wikipedia.
What you say only proves my point further. Nintendo was right last gen about online play being not as big a deal as some would like it to be. It's starting to be now in the 7th generation where online users make up a more significant part of the system's buyer base.
Online play isn't new either and PC gamers often wonder what the hubbub is about when they've been doing that forever.
Yeah I figured Silver was included in subscription numbers.
