I quickly googled it and back in 2007 Xbox Live went to 6 million users.
I dont know what it costs elsewhere but in uk its £40 for a year. Even if you assume half of these people brought the 12 months package that's like £120000000. That's an obscene amount of money for a company even as big as Microsoft to just drop. Although I would questoin what it costs to run the servers vs what they earn, perhaps thay can drop prices to make the live experience more accesable to more people. And only god knows what they earn now in 2009 after all of the console price drops and more people playing online.
