MS Expects Half of All 360 Owners To Use Live

Posted by Zonk on from the meet-new-people-and-swear-at-them dept.

Gamespot is reporting that Xbox chief officer Robbie Bach expects half of all Xbox 360 owners to use the Live service. From the article: "Bach confirmed that currently, only 10 percent of Xbox owners--some 2 million users--subscribe to Xbox Live. With the addition of the free 'Silver' version of Xbox Live, Bach believes that about 50 percent of the console's owners will go online via the 360. However, they will still have to pay to play games online via the new Xbox Live Gold."

    If I can't play games with the silver package...then I might as well go online with something called a PC!

    I read that as "MS Expects Half of All 360 Owners To Live"

    That's one harsh console.

      Only the strong will be able to survive the onslaught of entertainment that Xbox360 will cause.
