2 Million Xbox Live Users And Counting

Posted by Zonk on from the gates-does-a-happy-dance dept.

Gamasutra is reporting that Xbox Live has reached the milestone of 2 Million subscribers, essentially a doubling of the service's membership in the last year. From the article: "Microsoft took the opportunity to re-iterate that Xbox Live is a universal service between both the original Xbox and the forthcoming Xbox 360, due to debut this November. Thus, gamers can move their Xbox Live memberships seamlessly from Xbox to Xbox 360, giving Microsoft an initial subscriber advantage if either Sony or Nintendo plan a more complete online service for their next-generation consoles.

  1. Where are the numbers from? by Qzukk · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is it immoral Blizzard campers making money selling the Chinese subscribers they're farming? Let's talk about how all this camping and farming is affecting our economy. Clearly, duped subscribers are being used to inflate the importance of this third-rate console. What'll happen when the admins discover this and issue a rollback or worse, start just cancelling Microsoft and Blizzard accounts for participating in this hack?

  2. No major MMORPG! by EastCoastLA · · Score: 2, Funny

    This has to be the biggest problem. They have great infastructure, but no MMORPG. No Warcraft, no FF.., no Evercrack. This is a major slap in the face. Don't get me wrong Halo 2 ROCKS, but come on Microsoft. Wake up!

    Oh, by the way, Virtual ON on Xbox live would also Rock! enough Said!
