I'd imagine a large chunk of those 4 million are silver members...

Hey Major - Any idea what the retention rate has been for Xbox Live? I bet it's pretty darn good, and if so it's definately sommething that you'd like to flaunt.

e.g 85% of 1st yr Xbox Live members are still active, etc...

BTW - I'd also like to know the % of fellow Beta testers that are still active.

Thoughts?

Unless I missed it, the Gamerscore Blog post failed to mention how many of those 4 million were Silver accounts (free) and how many were Gold accounts. I'd be curious to see those numbers since they might tell a completely different story.

That's some creative math... 12 million downloads divided by 4 million members = a whopping 3 downloads per member! Not so fantastic. Next, of the 4 million accounts, how many of these accounts originate from the same 360? Are all these 4 million accounts are active, or is this the total number of live accounts created since launch? I know that I have six GT's and only use 1-2, most of my live friends have multiple, so I'd like to see the actual "active" 360's on Live.

"he unified Xbox Live network means you are always connected to a global community of 4 million gamers across 24 countries"

and

"Full access to your community via Xbox.com on your PC anytime, anywhere."

Interseting comments from John Porcaro in light of the recent 24 .. I mean 48 .. or maybe 72 hour Maintenance downtime.

Myaybe the "always connected" and "anytime" comments need a little disclaimer?

4 million members, but how many doubles?

A lot of people have Gamertags from each major region so you can download some stuff from the Marketplace that isn't available in your region (the EU Marketplace is barren when it comes to movie trailers for example). Or is the 4 million number referring to accounts created with 4 million individual 360 systems?

Just like Uban said, that makes around 5.7 Million sold world wide. Not long to PS3, doesnt look like 10 Million will be reached by the compeitiors come out. Will be intresting to see if during Xmas 360 can boost sales. I'll say it once i'll say it again, unless you boost marketing and promotions in Europe 360 wont win the console war. Especially with PS3 delay... Europe is the place to take over and win the console war ;)

Hi Major, great numbers!! 4 million is a great number, especially considering this is a subscription service we are talking about.

Total 360 Sales

Urban abroni — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 05:10:37 GMT

What bothers me is that with 4 million live subscriptions and a 70% attach rate we are looking at a maximum of 5.7 million 360s in the wild. Seems low, and while I realize the holidays are the major sales period, 4.3 million might be a little optimistic for two and a half months given the progress to date. Unless I'm missing something, which I hope I am.

Major: What is the membership rate for Xbox Live GOLD members? Any slob can plug his 360 into an ethernet cord and fill out a couple forms, what's really interesting is how many are paying for Live. It's quite misleading to only give the number on Silver membership, totally ignoring the Gold numbers.

Major, until you post how many of them are gold members versus silver members, this means nothing.
