Xbox Live has to be what makes Xbox financially worthwhile.

17 million is massive. The X1 appeals to core gamers so that subscription number should remain high in the coming years.


This sounds about right and it is massive.  If the average person pays 50/year, and you assume these are mostly main accounts,

is nearly 1 billion every year.  A few years in and it pay for itself.    And, the paywall existed to get people who didn't care about multiplayer.
