With a growing userbase + a hot new game + a online that works= Continued Live Dominance.

JOY

edit, lol the disagree's won't change the fact that Live dominates when it comes to online playtime for consoles, its not even close, some of you act as you never heard of Halo3, Gears, L4D, COD4 etc before. lol

boy it seems you dont have much to say nowadays...i guess that 'fact' you speak of OWNS having actual games to play huh....lol i mean i really get pissed and bitter that you get to take advantage of so many online users all at once whilst i just have to play other games AND this 1...*sigh* Anyhow it seems cod6 is a beast on live and psn. Congratulations IW and xbl i think

@ some of the guys above

pc shouldnt even come into this. we all know what time it is when it comes to pcs online community plus theres more pcs than anything else out there therefore there should be more....even JokesOnYou should be able to grasp that gem of wisdom.

This is what kills me i wonder just how many xbox gold accounts there really are as we speak microsoft likes to talk a big one but 2 million a record. I say there is no way they have over 7 million gold with that figure then. At least not active gold maybe 10 million who have signed up at one time or another. Like me i have had 2 accounts but not gold anymore and both of them where at one time or another.

Hy dummy,
It says at the same time. Why would everyone that has an xbox be online at the same time. Hell MW2 is as popular as crack but the most you see on at a time is about 400,000.

@vhero

Who cares what game is being played? That's not what's important, it's the numbers that matter. I've been lurking this site for over a year, and I'm sick of all you people constantly flipping sh1t on each other.

GROW UP

Who cares which console does better, sells more etc etc Play the games that YOU like and just enjoy one of the most competitive gaming markets of all time, instead of coming on websites like this to argue like 12 year olds at a playground.

O2_Addict - 42 days 12 hours ago

Supposedly there are over 30 million individual Xbox360 users.

Supposedly they average over 11 hours per week (so many play a lot more).

Supposedly nearly all of them pay for Live.

Even accounting for time-zones, if all the above is true, does it make sense that this has happened only once?

What does Halo has to do with MW2 online numbers? If you would actually PLAY the games, you would know that Halo and MW are totally different... I don't like Halo multiplayer too much, I prefer MW, but that don't mean I shouldn't recognize that hundreds of thousands do enjoy it. You are just being a hater. Halo has transcended just being a "great exclusive". The franchise is already at legendary status. If you don't see that, then you are blind and there is no hope for you. You don't have to like it, but you should be a man and atleast respect it.

"it looks like every one forgot about PC online gamin"

Erm, it is talking about breaking the Xbox live's previous record. And what does PC have to do with this? There is no way in telling how many people are online playing games on the PC, and if there was, it would be a much, much higher number than 2 million.. lol.

STK026 - 43 days 6 hours ago

yeah, but if people are like me, they have Steam starting when windows does, still doesn't mean I'm using Steam during that time. While Live is active when you go on your Xbox, chances are you'll be using it when you log on (since most games these days seem to heavily rely on MP and have shorter SP, see MW2), while I mostly use my computer for school and work.

BRG9000 - 43 days 6 hours ago

As 5.4 pointed out, many people including myself leave steam on all the time. I'd guess that only 20% of online steam users are actually gaming at any specific time. I know I'm only gaming <5% of the time I'm logged in.

Though as people have pointed out, I believe this article is just about XBL breaking its own record. Comparing it to PC is pretty pointless as it's impossible to measure how many people are PC gaming online.

No. thats the number of accounts made based on what region you live, which is also unique to the PS3 stupid. multiple accounts don't get counted. and its likely to grow from here.

They dont count JP accounts that are made in america.

or NA accounts made in the EU.
