Great news to hear as a corporate whore for Microsoft xd.

Does that standard you have apply to the other 2? 

I mean I don't root against success for Sony and Nintendo, but I sure as hell ain't whoring for them lol.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

As there are 90 mil active users, and roughly 72% of active users come from an Xbox one... That would indicate that the xbox one sold far more consoles than VG would have us believe.

PS4 MAU (not accounts, systems) is about 100M, PS+ is about 45M, but I don't have updated number for PS accounts MAU.

Xbox One numbers are more or less accurate when looked against NPD (we have most of it and numbers were adjusted), Japan, UK, German and some others. Also it have aligned with AMD releases from time to time. So whatever discrepancy is on the low million if there is any.

Looking for an actual source, not just claims. I'll keep looking though, thanks.

Same problem on Steam I have with Gamepass. I cannot fully get into digital games on PC I don't own/ Recore was neat. I tried Ruiner, thought ti was cool but then spent the $50 to get it physical on PS4. I tried the $1 Game Pass and both times let it lapse. I tried but I can't invest myself knowing it's on loan.

Do you get the same feeling when you subscribe to a non gaming subscription service? Perhaps you feel like you need to play everything before the 30days ends which can cause more stress.

90m live active users? Thats an interesting number. Does it mean we have 40m live users on pc and xbox360?
Also the 10m pass users shows that microsoft may never win a generation, but that doesnt mean they cant have a very profitable product with the xbox line.

I’d say most are from Xbox One, most carrying over from 360. For myself me and my wife each have our own gamertag for the one Xbox. I imagine that’s the major reason why the number is so high given the install base. That said I’m sure the PC number will only increase as PC Game Pass gets more popular. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Doesn't the number also include minecraft xbox live logins? For example Switch, ios, and android? I think most comes from XB1, with minecraft a close second. 360 and PC probably aren't that high aside from minecraft.
