Damn, so there are likely more PS plus subscribers than there are X1 users. Not bad at all for a service that severly trailed Gold in the past

If we take into account quite a few of X360 users moving to PS4, then it's not just an increase in PS+ members, but also a decrease in XBL Gold subscribers. 

It is not an accident that MS has not once since XOne's launch mentioned those numbers. They were very willing to give them out in the previous years...

There is no real evidence that X360 users are moving to PS4 in any numbers of significant. People keep saying this as if its fact. 

The ONE poll out there simply asked what consoles the people had RIGHT NOW.  They would say X360 or Wii and then a PS4.  In this case.. ONLY 33% of that group had a WIi or X360 next to there PS4.    so THEN .. then number was thrown out that 33% of PS4 users never came from X360 or Wii.. But the poll NEVER asked if they had sold their PS3 when they bought their PS4.  So that number could be FAR FAR less. And the 33% figure included WIi users..    So again.    There is no real proof that X360 users of any signifcant amount now own PS4's.

 

On topic..    50% penetration with PS Plus is a little lower then I expected with moving to require it for ONLINE play.  I would figure that EARLY adopters of the PS4 would be bigtime gamers and more likely play online (and want free games) and or already had PS Plus for their PS3/Vita. I already had PS Plus when I bought my PS4.  Just surpisingly low in my eyes..

Why surprisingly low? Isn't it around the same with Gold to 360 owners?

You are talking Xbox Live over 7 years with 80 million consoles and a TON of casual gamers...

My point was most people who buy a console in the first 10 months a release are pretty heavy gamers.. so surprsied they arent playing online..
