I think everyone here (almost at least) know about the context of the missing target, which isn't that interesting, the most important thing being the total user numbers as of June 30th, to put into comparison with Jez's "23 - but not really most likely - 22 million" and Take Two CEO's 30 million figures.
So yeah, 15 million from June last year to 20 million this year is a big bump, but if you consider there were 18 million by December 31st, they gain +3 million subscribers in the first 6 months and then 2 million in 6 months after that.
And for 9 months now, we don't have any new subscription numbers, despite being widely reported each quarter until January. Maybe there will be a boost in November/December thanks to Forza and Halo, but since the latter has its multiplayer free, I can see people paying 1$ for December to play the game and then unsuscribe from it. That will not be everyone of course, but can cause another decrease for Q3 reports.
