I have to admit, I’m impressed by this news. Up until now, I thought that World of Warcrack had absolutely owned the entire market as far as online gaming goes, but Xbox Live is trailing not far behind. Also mentioned were predicitions for next year, when they expect to have 10 million total subscribers. As it stands, 7 million is an incredible count. Sony will have to perform a miracle on their Playstation network to steal away any of those subscribers.

During Microsoft’s E3 2007 conference, Corporate Vice President of Global Marketing Jeff Bell announced Xbox Live has eclipsed the seven million user mark. That number is one million more than the company expected to have at this time.
