Err, here's Gold stats back in 2010: http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/02/microsoft-only-50-percent-of-xbox-live-users-pay-for-gold-subscription/

Just as I thought. Nowhere near 30m paid members. That 12.5m is from 2010, the number could be a bit higher now, or it could be lower. We won't know until we get updated numbers.

The main thing that its Interactive Entertainment Division CEO, Dennis Durkin, said that a whopping 50 percent of Xbox Live users actually pay the $60 per year for Xbox Live. There’s 25 million Xbox Live subscribers, so you’re looking at something like 12.5 million Xbox Live Gold subscribers. How many of these 12.5 million people aren’t jerks? That’s all I want to know.

Actually, by now, its probably past the 23 million you were arguing about. Upon further digging..

As of January 2012, there were 40 million XBL users. The 50% ratio of gold users has been the same since 2008, so there's no way to assume its dropped. (http://www.tgdaily.com/games-and-entertainment-brief/60687-xbox-live-users-topple-40-million)

 

" there are 40 million users who have signed up for an online Xbox Live account. "

That's all that article mentioned. It says nothing about 50% Gold subscribers. You're just assuming now....
