Xbox Live Hits One Million Users

Thanks to Reuters for its news story revealing Microsoft's Xbox Live online service has reached one million users, additionally noting that "...more than 100 game titles can be played over Xbox Live, and it expects to see about 150 titles by the end of this year." The story also reports on some comparisons: "Microsoft said in a statement that it reached the 1 million mark for Xbox Live users three times faster than other subscription services, such as Time Warner Inc.'s AOL and TiVo Inc." This impending milestone was previously mentioned in an interview with Microsoft's Andre Vrignaud last month.

Having played online PC games for a while- I doubt this. THe community for games suck. 99% of the people playing are absolute morons, assholes, or just plain annoying. Which is why only a very small percentage of even PC gamers actually spend much time in online play. Most of those who do just play real life friends. Online console play is a gimmick, its not going to truely drive console development or sales. If it did, Xbox would be number 1, not struggling for third.
