Microsoft: 60 Percent of 360 Owners Go Online |
Ó
Last September Microsoft CEO Robert Batch predicted that around 50 percent of all Xbox 360 owners would go online, in a prediction to improve the 10 percent of original Xbox owners that took their consoles online using the Xbox Live service. Figures released yesterday by Microsoft show that not only have Batch's predictions been met, they've even been exceeded.
Microsoft has managed to get 60 percent of Xbox 360 owners across the world hooked up and using Xbox Live, according to Xbox Live group marketing manager Aaron Greenberg. The company's free Xbox Live Silver service is expected to have attracted most customers to hook up their 360 to the Internet. Although it does not allow online gameplay, players can still post achievements and download demos. The spread of high-speed broadband access has also had an effect on the number of 360's connected to the internet.
Greenberg said "Logic says it will come down at some point, but the fact that it's continuing to grow and we have the majority of our users connected online has really changed the gaming experience this generation."

know one cares, who gives a *****!!!! i could say random percentages too, 99% of all pc owners go online, 100% of PS3s are more powerful than 360s, 85% of everyone who plays Halo 2 cheats and Micro$oft doesnt give a ***** as long as they get there stupid 50$ a year for your XBL account, which is way to high!!!! why dont you fix your number one online game then maybe more people will pay your high prices to play dumb microsoft *****s!!!!
someone has no life aaaand ms pwns sony BLAM!!
I agree with #2. i still luv 360 n ps3
50 per year is FOUR dollars/mo. I'm sure you waste much more than that each month. Just don't get McDonalds once you fatty.
i wiegh 165 pounds and im 6 foot 4 inches so im about as far from fat as you can get, also 50 dollars a year is another game for me not one less trip to mcds, everyother online service that i know of has been free accept of course mmorpgs, i do have a life and how does me being angry with ms or this dumb article justify me having no life, also i like 360 just not the gayness of live and the bull_***** from MS
If you're gonna be talking about the *360* and Live, DON'T USE AN OLD LIVE PIC FROM XBOX.
Would be more, but we dare not risk our firmware hacks from banning us, lol ;) Agree with the No.2 comment, Halo 2 was once good but with the mass of cheaters these days its a waste of time.. Big shame.
