Xbox Live, watch out: It’s full Steam ahead for Valve.Bellevue-based Valve says its Steam video-game platform now has 65 million active accounts — 30 percent growth in the past year.Those are free accounts, but in raw numbers, the growth propels Steam past Xbox Live, which now has 48 million users after launching in Nov. 2002. The Xbox Live number includes both free and paid (Xbox Live Gold for $60/year) accounts.
The Windows OS market share is very relevant. And you prophesied PC gaming AND PC itself going to be dead soon to be replaced by mobile. Anyways.Ah know this one not directly related, but here it is:Microsoft Reports Record Quarterly Revenues of $24.52 Billionhttp://windowsitpro.com/paul-thurrotts-wininfo/microsoft-reports-record-quarterly-revenues-2452-billionIt have plenty men out there (trinishaq you is #1 right now ) who always crying doom and gloom for Microsoft. AND I keep telling ppl, MS fine. Them men making money. There are the cold facts right there.Again with those numbers. Those numbers are pointless. We know console have more numbers, it's been that way for DONKEY years. So what? That don't mean PC gaming dying. I've posted many charts and graphs where PC gaming has actually risen. Valve just recently broke all kinda records for how many active steam users they had. AND how many subscriptions. To put it into context:QuoteXbox Live, watch out: It’s full Steam ahead for Valve.Bellevue-based Valve says its Steam video-game platform now has 65 million active accounts — 30 percent growth in the past year.Those are free accounts, but in raw numbers, the growth propels Steam past Xbox Live, which now has 48 million users after launching in Nov. 2002. The Xbox Live number includes both free and paid (Xbox Live Gold for $60/year) accounts.And as far as OS market share goes, the console market share is just a fraction of mobile figures. And mobile figures is just a fraction of windows. We don't need consoles on that chart I posted because they wouldn't even break the 1% line. And with a gigantic massive ridiculous lead in OS market share like that.With MS making gangbusters profitsWith Valve BOOMING!With NVIDIA raking in billions in profits.
. Sony sold 4.2 Million, MS sold some 3.9.....not far behind, and @ 100$ more than Sony. No doom and gloom there either..
