remember remember the 13th of november: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=119507

The article talks about Kinect like those sales are for X360 only.. If true vgchartz needs to update...

Then why are you in here commenting?

Made me LOL so hard i just stip my coffee TROOLOLOL

Again, Microsoft only Reports ACTIVE USERS (i.e have at least signed once in the last 8 months).

IF THEY WERE GOING TO REPORT MEMBER SINCE 2005 THERE WOULD VE OVER 100 MILION SINCE HALO 3 ALONE WAS CLOSING 25M LAST YEAR ON LEADERBOARDS.

Anything else you guys are saying is wishfull thinking, if Halo 3 was closing 25 milions players that means Call o Duty is way above 30, all of them alone on Xbox Live.

Ballmer said this long time ago on a e3 interview.

LOL people really think 46m is from members hahahahaha how in hell HAHAHAHA

When Most people have made 3 free 1 month accounts just to boost Halo 3 ranks or boost Call of Duty prestiges.

This Active, not all-time... All- Time is above 100m, you can bet on that.

So, these numbers are shipped. That means 1.9M on shelves. Can that be right?

well there are, but they are no where near the standard.  see because a lot of people here dont have the money to pay cellphone plans for thereselfs, wifes and kids cellphone data and covarage is really cheap here, its actually the only thing that extremely cheap here lol.  the usual is, you buy a phone unlocked then you use what ever carrier you want, its actually better this way because u can get what ever phone you want, not what the carrier provides you. 

the most commen system resembles PSN cards/psn you buy a card whether its 1, 3, 5,9, 12 ect ect and put it in your account. then those credit you use to make phone calls, each minute costing a certain amount depending on your offer and carrier, like for example 3 cents or whatever. my offer is somewhat a hybrid, it was made to make pretty much every college student subscribe to it, it was offered to people between 18 to 23, i buy 6 bucks of credit they take it from me then give me shit loads of minutes (i never even finished them lol) and 3G with a 1GB download limit (good enough for me) so yeah, my offer is pretty much the cheapest here. and its awesome lol

ACTIVE USERS NOT MEMBERS WHO SIGNED

@aharpaz No, that is all active Xbox LIVE members.

this one is interesting about the amount of gold users:

@stephentotilo ha very tempting, but has historically been more than half, but we typically only give out the total active member #.

yeah we have something similar to that.  We call them go-phones here.  You buy cards for minutes etc like you said.  I dont know how much they cost to be honest though.  

Kinect outshipped gamecube....cool.

PS posters shitting on this thread, with a facade that they are trying to shed light on the context.....gimme a break.

46 million Live active users. Pretty amazing. Its almost impossible to say how many are gold since the number changes every month.
