Lol sign in once in 8 months and you're active? How arbitrary is that? 

"IF THEY WERE GOING TO REPORT MEMBER SINCE 2005 THERE WOULD VE OVER 100 MILION SINCE HALO 3 ALONE WAS CLOSING 25M LAST YEAR ON LEADERBOARDS."

Tell me how on an install base of 74m are there 100m accounts?

No need bloat numbers here...oh wait, I guess there is...lol once in 8 months. Sounds like facebook.

PSN

Damn you beat me to my edit. I don't want to bring PSN into this, seems pretty off topic since it isn't even mentioned in the OP - but I am curious if we get any figures about actives (with qualifications like "one sign-in in 8 months").

Again, Microsoft only Reports ACTIVE USERS (i.e have at least signed once in the last 8 months).

IF THEY WERE GOING TO REPORT MEMBER SINCE 2005 THERE WOULD VE OVER 100 MILION SINCE HALO 3 ALONE WAS CLOSING 25M LAST YEAR ON LEADERBOARDS.

I did over 6 accounts on Live because my Live expired and i used the Free 1 month Trials that i had (3 per Console), i owned 2 Xbox 360s.

100m is minimum, there must be way more. Again Halo 3 alone had 25m users as last year. Not even counting Call of Duty, GTA, Fifa, Gears of War, Madden.

Active on the other hand is 46m.

So i had 6 months of Free Live Gold, im a member from almost 7 years now.

 

Right, those other 5 accounts are now expired. So why are you lumping in total accounts in with active accounts? I mean the OP is about active accounts, not total accounts. Seems kinda silly to even consider expired accounts that no one will ever use again. Or am I misunderstanding?

In regard to 25m for Halo - are you saying there is no overlap between people who play Halo and people who play CoD, GTA, Fifa, Gears, Madden? Not following your logic here.

 

Those accounts arent counted anymore  BUT IF i log in to any of these it will be counted again as active.

You dont really need to do anything, probably even if you log in on Xbox.com it counts like Active.
