I'd argue that devs and publishers benefit from those "useless figures", but who do these new figures "benefit"?

Active Accounts is far more accurate to us gamers then sales figures which includes Faulty Systems, Horders, Multi-buyers, Returns etc. My friend owns 4 PS3s, but on the sales charts it makes the gaming community believe there are 4 customers. Active accounts tell us whos actually using there consoles and there wont be many paying for more then 1 subscription per average house hold. Its a far better method which benefits everyone then simple sales figures which is mislead in so many ways.

But it makes platform usage indishtingable, we don't know if its 360, X1, or PC, which makes popularity even more inflated than customers who've purchased more than one of the same console. Not to mention, that group is small, even RROD which was probably the worst case faulty hw leading console repurchases couldn't have accounted for more than 20% of 360's LTD, (I need the figures on this though)
