Microsoft Will Focus Primarily On Xbox Live Usership, Not Console Shipments

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.

Active Accounts means nothing... sorry to tell you buddy.

They increased active accounts on PC, Phone, 360 or Xbone?
These accounts are Silver or Gold?

I can go aead...

So active accounts for you tells whos is actually using the consoles... so can you share with us how much are using Xbone? Or PR? Or Phone? Or 360?

Your not making much sense. There talking about ACTIVE accounts, meaning accounts that dont sit there for years unused. You really prefer to read up on millions of console sales? How do you know how many bad batches there are? Have you ever been to a retailer, go ask how many machines get returned, exchanged or refunded. Active accounts isnt a perfect way either but its much more accurate because accounts cannot be faulty, returned or refunded. And MS normally tell us how many Gold Members there are so if you really want to know how many gamers are playing Xbox, then those figures nail it down.
