Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division posted revenue of $2.53 billion, an increase of 56 per cent from the prior year period.
MS EDD covers Xbox 360 and its games and peripherals, Xbox Live, Mediaroom, Skype and Windows Phone.
During the earning call, Microsoft chief financial officer Peter Klein said of Xbox Live, "Clearly there's a lot of momentum, and with E3 just around the corner we look forward to showing more shortly."

Jeezus that is a lot of accounts. I bet most are inactive, but still. So many names taken and never going to be used again. It's sad really.

SlytherinRequirement Wow thats a huge milestone, to bad most of the members are inactive.
Yeah I think that an average Xbox player has like 5-10 Xbox live accounts... So this is a pretty small number
But.. A lot of families share one account. So that's 3 to 5 people on one account. Makes up for a lot of it
