Microsoft announced on Thursday that it now has more than a million subscribers for Xbox Live, the online gaming service for the company\'s video game console. Microsoft launched Xbox Live in late 2002 as a high-stakes bid to reshape the game industry and to distinguish its console.

While the service is primarily designed for game-playing, it also includes voice and video capabilities and is considered a major part of Microsoft\'s plans to take over the digital living room. Microsoft cleared a significant hurdle to Xbox Live adoption earlier this year when it recruited leading game publisher Electronic Arts, which had objected to Microsoft\'s business model for the service.

I have yet to get online with my xbox. But at least I know now I have someone to play against.

It\'s almost too much to believe, but I really hope all three companies build online hardware in for the next generation. (Hear that Nintendo?)

I\'d finally be swayed to go broadband.

Does it matter how long it took? They still done it and it is a great accomplishment... I\'m sorry that you can\'t look on the bright side of anything, MM..err, Michael Moore.

how\'s the xbox live subscription rate in japan?

« **Reply #7 on:** July 17, 2004, 06:34:18 AM »

Minimum hardware sales in japan=minimum subscriptions in japan
You can\'t make conclusions on how good the XBOX Live is by judging the number of subscribers in Japan since few subscribers in XBOX live are due to gaming preferences being directed to PS2 and GC consoles which mean higher PS2 and GC sales and non-existent XBOX hardware sales.

EDITED

Now pay a closer attention
