because it is an achievement?  76m sold, 24m kinects with 46m accounts on XBL is pretty huge numbers.  Riderz im cool with you and all but dont be ridiculous. You guys know very well why people are happy about this.  Because it is an achievement.  Just like if Sony came out and said we have sold 76m PS3's, 46m PS+ accounts, 24m PS eyes blah blah.  People would be happy about that.  not hard to figure out guys

@bold - I honestly wouldn't give a shit. 

Edit - It's a cool accomplishment for the company, but not something I would personally care for.

46 million people paying for XBox Live?
Sounds like the ultimate slap in the face for anyone who wishes XBL will be free.

At this rate it never will be.

This includes Silver membership, so probably around half of those people are paying.  And if you're a MS fan, I would think you would want them to go free, as well.  It will be a larger negative next gen, as Sony will have a service that is on par, for free, day one.

@ OP

The shipment numbers for 360 don't really tell us much, besides that they at least shipped 150K in Jan-early Feb, since it was already at 75.9M at the end of Dec.  They were able to ship 4M Kinects from Nov-early Feb, as they announced 20M in Nov 2012.  Not bad, though it's obvious Kinect is slowing done.

46m Xbox Live MEMBERS, not active users. There is a difference and this includes Silver accounts.

The 76m Xbox 360 numbers is sold to retailers, AKA shipped.

You may already know this, but I thougt I had to say it as the OP and title clearly don't understand.

The link says more than 76 million sold.


So we will use the PS poster logic and say that must mean 79 million.

I bet you haven't seen this one PSOne console sold 130 million!

46M Live Users * 57% Entertainment App Usage = 26.2M gold users.


I'd say that the 46 million are all gold. It's just over half the consoles sold according to M$ numbers. %57 of gold users just use the apps or it's just an increase over another period of time like last year. If 46 million people only conected the 360 to the internet not even trying the free gold trial or silver, that's just over half who even attempted internet connection with the 360. Not a chance. Live was and still is a selling point, surely they would atleast try it.

No.

Such numbers wouldn't mesh with all previous sources of gold being ~50% of Live users. If 46M were Gold users, then that means that about 65% are Gold users - assuming that 100% of Xbox 360's are still in usage. That figure is way too high.

46M XBL users would mean that about 65% of 360 purchases are connected to the internet, which meshes with estimates made by 3rd parties like EEDAR that believe 70-80% of 360's are online (which leaves about 15-20% of 360 users that aren't using their consol enough to be reported in this number). Its an unbelievably good figure for Microsoft for online penetration, and even better for their Gold users, as that number is probably 10x higher than PS Plus users.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

That's really great.

Hope it achieves it's next milestone soon. 100 million! =)



You are the answer to every prayer I've offered.

You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.
