Yeah this was up over 30 million a few years ago..

Yah... Except it was 30 million "accounts"...
And not gold. But nice try, I totaly understand what you are triyng to do here :)

Nice try? at what, posting in a thread?   Give up the victim act please, it's just pathetic at this point.   And what am i trying to do here?  Please let everyone in on your wise ways..

 

And no it wasn't 30 million accounts, it actually was 40 million accounts in January 2012 that Balmer disclosed.

http://www.tgdaily.com/games-and-entertainment-brief/60687-xbox-live-users-topple-40-million

Prior to that in 2010 they had a 50% attach rate that put them to 12.5 M gold users

http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/02/microsoft-only-50-percent-of-xbox-live-users-pay-for-gold-subscription/

So yes maybe I am off on the 30M gold users over all. However, since 2010 they have sold over 35 million X360's and 5M X1's and you think they only gained 4.5M more gold users?  It's more then likely that MS has gained a lot more Gold users since 2010 and lost a % of them after the X1 launch.

 

 

Hope you are not serious :) People like you are funny, they are bashing MS at any opportunity and expect people to act like they are poor innocent objective forum posters. Assume yourself now please!

In any case, 17 millions is still a massive number . Losing some of their gold subscribers with the X1 or not.

Also your second post makes more sense and I'm glad you realized and admited that your 30 million gold subscribers was completly off.

It is true tho that following the trend it may be higher than 17m today and therefor this number is off. OR Microsoft effectively lost a lot of subscribers (with what happen with the Xbox One it would not be surprising).
