How long are X360 Live Gold Members going to keep their subscriptions,

Decades. Xbox is the only subscription based service that offers backwards compatibility as standard.

and XB1 cannot make up the difference with the way it is selling.

360 levels + 30%? Of course it will, after all Sony actively stood up and yelled "Charging for online play is the best"...it's practically a cartel.

You say DECADES, for real? Are you saying people who had X360 and bought Live for Online Multiplayer are going to keep subscribing for decades? I say bullshit. X360 is dying and those who still have only X360 and Live subscription will want to upgrade sooner or later. They will migrate to PC, PS4, XB1, Nintendo and some will quit gaming, MS will lose Live subscriptions with the death of X360 and that's it. And no, please do not start with the utopia talk again. With all the numbers we have, it is not realistical to estimate XB1 to overperform X360 sales by 30% in the long run.
