So let's just do a inaccurate and conservative calculation:

If theoretically 39M xbl users pay 40 bucks per year for XBL, the revenue figure would be:

1.560 Billion USD...

Sick!

no that's (short of) 40 million Gold and Silver members. AFAIR 60% of them are Gold members. Meaning around $1b in subsription revenue.
even though I'd say that the normal price for a subsrciption would lean more towards $50-$55 ($60 being official price + Europeans paying more)

So more like $1.2b

Ah, my bad, thought someone claimed close to 40M paid subribers.

But I think we can agree, $1.2B is still sick!

Wonder if they'll reach 50m subscribers (60% meaning 30m gold) by end of 2013

Considering the rate XBL has been expanding at for the past few years, I would say Q1 - Q2 2013 is more likely than than Q3 - Q4 2013.
