Here's something i didn't really expect, Microsoft have come out and said that around half of their Xbox Live subscribers are in fact 'Gold' Members. With around 25 million members in total thats aroun 12.5 million gold accounts out there which is an insane amount of money being put across for online services.
Microsoft's Dennis Durkin (head of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business) stated at the 'Credit Suisse Annual Technology Conference': "Of our 25 million members, about half of them are subscribers to the business and pay us about $60 a year for that," "So it's a very large business for us and for our partners."
It comes down to about $1 Billion in revenue each year according to an analyst, for the full report head over to IGN.
