Wow impressive attach rate for Kinect and XBLG still printing money.

lol @ people harping on what a company defines as active. As if every single platform company in existence does not also do things with numbers to make them more impressive. Just out of curiosity, what are the official "active user" guidelines that Sony and Nintendo use for their active user PR?

Sony and Nintendo active users are probably near 100% for those that care about having internet on their home consoles considering it is free to play online, stream video services, etc. 

It wouldn't be any more near 100% of those that care than MS's lol. Because if free online were that big a deal to someone, why would they buy a 360 in the first place? Plus their is no difference in the active user list to MS based on Gold/Silver. So the pay to play angle is irrelevant.
