But the ratio of games sold to actually how many Xbox live customers there are. is actually very low. But again i am at work and can't look through gaming sites to get the exact figures for yea.
That's why I said they need to focus MORE on it :p Actually in my country its pretty big, way bigger than any other EU country. In the weekends we have 800 people playing socom at any time while UK or France have maybe 500 and those countries are much much bigger.
But I think the possibilities with online gamming are endless and the importance will grow and not having online support for the GC has harmed them and their reputation and they have falling back to the opposition. Nothing that can't be overcome but having to be able to play metroid or that melee game online would have been cool.
I'm positive that online gaming and other online utilities will be very important for the next gen.
