Spartan_X Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Xbox LIVE Reaches 6 Million Members 4 Months Ahead of Schedule At E3 this past year, Microsoft announced the goal that the Xbox Live community would be 6 million members strong by June 2007. We underestimated ourselves. We're proud to announce that more than 6 million gamers worldwide are connected to Xbox Live, a milestone that was reached 4 months ahead of schedule. In a media alert we sent out, you can find the latest in Xbox 360 and Xbox Live momentum data, including how many Achievements have been unlocked to-date, and the top 5 Xbox Live list.

George P Global Moderator Posted March 6, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted March 6, 2007 Great bit of news, just shows how XBL is growing and getting stronger. This should put pressure on Sony for sure. But this is just more info, we need some big news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addc182 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 still not as much as WoWs 8 million... but still a big step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 still not as much as WoWs 8 million...but still a big step True, but to be fair, WoW normally doesn't require hardware purchases, as Xbox Live requires the console. So I'd say it's pretty impressive as well. Although, 8 million just for one title (versus 6 million for N number of Xbox Live titles, XBLA, XBLM and XBLVM) is very impressive as well.
