They have 46 million GOLD members since they are including the word "subscribers". You don't subscribe to anything with a silver account since it is free for every XBOX360. If they counted those as well, they would be hitting PSN account numbers (last numbers was something like 90 to 100 million), since you can pretty much create as many silver accounts as you wish.

That 50 million number is correct or at least sold to retail/Sony warehouses correct as of 2008. The 360 is around 39 million at the moment and the Wii is only around 41 million. Either way, the 360 will be on store shelves for at least 2 or 3 more years and it will do well in 2013 (8 to 9 million at least, with probably around 5 million of those in the US alone). It will surpass the Wii this year for sure since the Wii is all but dead and who knows what it will do beyond 2013. It may very well be the next PS2 in terms of life. I'm sure as long as it is selling in the millions and making MS money, they will keep it on the store shelves and most of those sales will come from the US.

No they don't and when you make a silver account you are subscribing with them.

[QUOTE="percuvius2"]You get what you pay for, which is why psn is the suckfest welfare service that it is.tormentos
I pay nothing for PSN.. I get cheaters. I get lag. I could get my account stolen (PSN so call fiasco) I have to tolerate screaming teens. I payed for xbox live. I get cheaters. I get Lag. I can get my account stolen and sold on a black market (since 2007) I have to tolerate even more screaming teens.. This ^^^ is a fact no my opinion,the only difference is i don't pay 1 cent for that crap,while on xbox live i pay and get the same,oh with party chat.

Go enjoy your psn, your opinion isn't of value to me, thanks anyways though.

Remember this.? ""The patent application, titled "CONTENT DISTRIBUTION REGULATION BY VIEWING USER", is a means of using Kinect to monitor not just what you're watching (or listening to) on your Kinect, but more importantly, how many people. Here's the important part, straight from the application itself"" http://kotaku.com/5958307/this-kinect-patent-is-terrifying-wants-to-charge-you-for-license-violation A little patent discover 3 months ago.? Kinect is always on watch out maybe on your next credit card bill you see a charge for a movie and a extra license fee for watching a movie with more than 2 or 3 people.. Kinect is say to be able to recognize 5 or 6 people at the same time.

I've only encountered screaming kids a few times. And your account is only likely to have been stolen if you're a bit dim and gave out some info you shouldn't have to someone .... the same for any account on any site on the internet.

Congrats to MS, also for the succes of it's crappy Kinect .

 

Not sure why all the bitter tears are needed though, why the hurt if you don't own a 360 or kinect :cry:

Impressive. Kinect took off like a rocket. When I went to Best buy kids were really into it. Kudos to M$ for making a foothold this gen.

Hopefully their next console actually has a better balance between the two audiences.
