On Vgchartz: - All my friends leave Xbox live and get PSn plus!
- Hundreds of threads why it is stupid people stay on xbox live...
Reality: Xbox live saw an increase of 18%!
Burn! Stupid fanboys and their wild pathetic hatefull dreams sigh =p. |
It's only expected it's going to increase because of all the millions of new X360 owners, SOME of them have to connect it to the internet, right? That 46% includes ALL Live accounts, meaning "Silver" which is pretty much connecting the box to the net and making an account, lol.
|
expected?? i think youre missing the point systems declined 9% xbox live membership increase 18% wouldnt you think that theses two would have a direct relationship. if i told you that hotdog weiners sales dropped 9% would you expect hotdog buns to increased 18%
|
Yeah, because some of the old X360 owners (sold on a previous quarter and before that) might just be making an account this past quarter. Even people who don't buy a brand-new 360 can make an account and that will not help increase the number of consoles sold but it will increase the Live membership.

Youre right some can be from older owners, some are silver accounts, some are gold, we dont know concrete numbers except that live total saw an increase from 40 to 46 somewhere in the area of 18% i dont believe the amount of units sold between jan to march justifies a 6 million increase in live memberships, even if you include the 5.9 sold in the previous qter to the 1.3 sold this last qtr, that would mean 83% of the console sold in the last two quarters started a live acount, thats huge.
|
what?
The 40 to 46m is year on year. What are you all talking about? 6m since end of March 2012.
|
Did i read it wrong then? i got my number from the microsoft investor relations page, and it had Xbox LIVE members >40 million for fy13 qtr 2 isnt the standing number of memberships as of that quarter?
