Xbox Live roster hits 1 million By David Becker, Special to ZDNet Australia July 16, 2004 URL: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/business/soa/Xbox-Live-roster-hits-1-million/0,139023166,139153570,00.htm
Microsoft announced on Thursday that it now has more than a million subscribers for Xbox Live, the online gaming service for the company's video game console. Microsoft launched Xbox Live in late 2002 as a high-stakes bid to reshape the game industry and to distinguish its console. While the service is primarily designed for game-playing, it also includes voice and video capabilities and is considered a major part of Microsoft's plans to take over the digital living room. Microsoft cleared a significant hurdle to Xbox Live adoption earlier this year when it recruited leading game publisher Electronic Arts, which had objected to Microsoft's business model for the service.
