Xbox Live Now Has 35 Million Users

Published Jul 31, 2011

Microsoft has made an announcement that the last year has been their best in terms of signing up new members to their Xbox Live online gaming service.

“The last 12 months has been our biggest in terms of acquisition (of new Xbox Live members) – in the EMEA region and globally. And we’re actually forecasting the next 12 months to be even bigger, said Xbox Live product marketing manager for EMEA Robin Burrowes.

The company announced that they have passed the 35 million user mark for the first time, which is a 10 million increase from August last year. It took about 27 months to grow from a reported 4 million users in October 2006 to about 14 million users in December 2008, and roughly 20 months to go from there to the 25 million users reported last August, wrote CVG.

“We’ve certainly got aspirations in the console space to be the No.1 in terms of market share. Those aspirations are clear. We’re exceptionally confident that the 12 months ahead will spark [Xbox Live's] growth,” Burrowes told CVG.
