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.

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.

Why do you even care? was it that you needed to flame any MS thread and this was the perfect choice?

lol nice edit. I'm just saying the criteria is quite odd for an "Active" userbase. No need to overreact. The numbers are good, just weird how they arrived upon them.

Sony counts all time accounts, groups PS3 with Vita, and with no mention of PS Plus users since its inception. Id say the criteria from your favourite company has a lot more to be desired.
