| aurelounet said: used the 2.5 millions subscribers stated earlier by someone. X being the number of users on 01/01/2012 and (1+144%) X the number of user on 01/01/2013. While you tried to find an average number of PS+ accounts for the year by dividing the 140,000,000 by 50$ and 18$. Our avarage for the year beind different, we found some different results (not to different). Actually, I am having some trouble understanding your equation, what is your X ?? |
My "x" is the number of subscribers at the beginning of the year. I assumed they each paid $50 for the whole year. And I assumed that the rest paid $18 for one subscription. They made up 144% of the initial subscribers....
Oops I made a mistake.
It should have been $140,000,000 = $50 * x + $18 * 144 % * x
$140M total rev
$50 per subscription for those who bought at the beginning.
$18 per subscription for those who bought at the end.
You said there was an increase of 144% so I assumed they bought the $18 hence 144% * x
i solved for x: 1.84 million those bought at the beginning.
$90M revenue
I solve for x * 144 %: 2.65 million.
$47.7M revenue
i add them together to find the total subscriptions at the end of the year: those who bought at the beginning + those who bought at the end.
4.49 million total or 1.84 million * 244%
