I prove you wrong. http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/06/xbox-by-the-numbers-20m-xbox-live-users-10m-nongaming-39m-xbo

Your 95% just droped to 50% oooops. This is 2010 ofc, but its well representative of the proportion.

 

Next gen im just goin all the way and ditching microsoft altogether for Sony or Nintendo because of this. I am sick of having online gaming blocked when its not worth what its beeing asked.

 

Also for the people saying its only 20 cents a day, feel free to msg me and offer me those 20cents a day since its obviously of no importance to you, but for me its good enough to buy a brand new game by christmas.

Serisouly, some people seem to enjoy having their wallet raped for no reason.

Even if online gaming on Xbox was free that doesn't mean everyone would suddenly start playing games online. Are more people playing games online on PS3 because its free? It appears the answer is no.

Funny when a Sony fan argues $60 is a wallet raping. If Sony wasn't trying to rape wallets the PS3 and Vita would have had successful launches.

There are many of us that can afford to have Live Gold and new games. Fortunately you do have options. If you don't like what MS does, Sony will gladly take any money you'll give them. Nobody is forcing Xbox on you, so quit worrying about it.


I prove you wrong aswell: http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/4418.html

85% Of PS3 Owners Online, Compared To 60% Of 360 Owners

That article gives xbox 10% more than the other one, but still nowhere near the numbers the PSN pulls.

You cant really call me a Sony fanboy but more of a microsoft hater if you want to be accurate. I hate when someone is constantly trying to rob me, its only natural i develop some dislike to that entity. And to be honest... i'd rather console raping at the start than over the years. You, have most certainly paid more for your system + online gaming by now than many PS3 gamers payed for the console and online gaming.

This is somewhat amusing cause you seem to enjoy and not care that you're wallet is rapped. Its very funny and well... sad i suppose.

You didn't prove me wrong. This article simply says PS3 has a higher percentage of consoles connected to the web. It doesn't say more people are actually playing online games.

Furthermore, this article is old as shit. I assume the PS3 userbase was about 20 million in 2009. More recent articles have PS3 percentages lower and 360 percentages higher.

MS isn't robbing you. Live has been a pay service even before the 360 launched.

If someone just wants to play multiplat games online like CoD, Battlefield, etc... I would suggest playing them on a PS3. But if you're one of the millions and millions of people that enjoy playing Halo, Gears, other 360 exclusive content, and perhaps the multiplat games then the modest Live fees are worth paying.

PSN may be free, but it simply doesn't offer the games I personally enjoy playing. I rather pay Live fees than settle with crap I don't enjoy on PS3. The only thing that's is sad is you. Your life and wallet must be empty if subscriptions to Live Gold makes you sad.

I kind of did, since you brought forward no proof of otherwise.

No, microsoft isnt robbing me cause i dont let them. 360 exclusive content is also a disgusting practice that i will not support. Basically, you're telling me you just like Halo and Gears and thats why you like Xbox live. I can understand liking the games, but i dont understand why you like paying for online gaming because of that.

I know you have trouble accepting this as you already chose to shove it in the back of your mind, but the server costs for online gaming are minimal and they will be shut down after a few years. At that point the game you bought at full price now only has half its functionality despite you having payed a monthly to play it on top of the box cost. The costs are in the box sales. The online play fee is taking advantage of you. But, as i say, some people dont care about beeing taken advatage of. Waste your money away all you want, i dont really care, but i will keep saying you're beeing taken advantage of, because you are.

@DirtyP2002 The fact that the article is older actually gives a more accurate picture because there were less accounts created by then. I'm extrapolating similar numbers to nowadays, but i really found no conclusive article. For the record though, i created 2 Xbox live accounts aswell. Both silver ofc.
