Look Gabe, it's ok to hype up your own platform but it's dickish to downplay Microsoft's achievement. It took Steam many years to reach that 65 million and Valve has never said that that number is for active Steam users, that's just their total number of users, many of those accounts might have been used very rarely, such as my own, or abandoned entirely. Xbox Live on the other hand has 48 million active users and the 360 has sold over 80 million, more than the total number of lifetime Steam accounts.

Yes they have.  The number is for users that have purchased something and signed in within the past thirty days.
