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

with all the apps they are adding definitely a possibility.  i dont know why they dont partner with netflix and other providers negotiate for a 50% discount for xbl users.

Netflix is already on there though? Does better on Wii as well I believe ...

But yeah, this time last year they were at 30m, so they've gone up 10m, should shoot past 50m! Perhaps 60m then, meaning 36m gold members.

Damn man thats alot!! its 40M right now, maybe >20M Gold.. They will eventually go on to 60/70M for sure and thats alot of accounts and alot of money! I wonder what will happen once next gen starts, i mean people will keep playing 360 and using it as a media device but probably growth will stop being this huge since Xbox 720 will cost much more... i guess
