Something funny about Xbox Live

Xbox Live is a service which provides gamers with online gaming for multiple games, almost all the games in its library.

World of Warcraft is a single game, one game, which is played online.

PC gaming is said to be dying every year, and that not as many people would happen to play PC games as they would console games.

As of earlier this year, Xbox Live surpassed 7.1 million subscribers.

As of earlier this year, World of Warcraft surpassed 8 million subscribers.

It costs money, where as the Wii and PS3 are free

What's great about WoW is that it can pretty much be played on any computer. The game itself is 50dollars and a 360 cost a little bit more than that last time I checked.DaysAirlines

WoW costs much more than Xbox Live. WoW costs £8.99 per month.

And most people with a PC to run WoW will have a fairly decent system, which costs money. Most people have PCs, but then lets say a graphics card then, that costs money. Also, we're talking the whole Xbox Live enabled library versus one single game.

EVERYBODY has a computer. /thread.jack_russel

We're talking about gamers. There's a very small percentage of PCs in the world that are built with gaming in mind. Everyone has a computer, but I hardly doubt every one of those is a gamer.

You don't need a gaming computer for WoW. A gamer without a gaming PC can play WoW.

Yeah... You sure about the price though? It's 19.99 around here, 29.99 for the Xpac and 44.99 for the Battle chest with two (outdated) strategy guides.

But why would anyone that isn't a gamer want to go out, buy WoW and subscribe? Same with Live.

most peoples pcs are hooked up to the net therefore easy to get onlineThebettertwin

Not everyone with a PC hooked up to the net is a gamer. In fact there's much more PCs hooked up to the net for business and other personal uses.

Everyone these days has a car. Everyone these days has a computer.

Not everyone these days is a boy racer. Not everyone these days is a PC gamer.

Still at the old WoW argument?jetpower3

Still answering your own questions? You haven't changed one bit >_>

I'll repeat it for the third or fourth time, not everyone that owns a PC is a gamer.

think of it this way.

to play games on xbox live, you need to buy an xbox 360 = what is it 280$ now? plus a memory card $30, plus live 50 a year. plus you need a game, lets say halo 3, 60 bucks.

totally about 400.

to play WOW, all you need is a computer that's less than 5 years old, which about 40 percent of the american population has. (note, that's a guess, i'm not really basing that on anything, correct me if you have facts)

so, those people who have computers already, all they have to do is buy wow 50 $, and pay for it (12$ a month??)

totally about 65 bucks.

in both situations you assume that people have things, like a tv with some sort of sound, and a computer in the wow case..

a lot more people are going to play wow because it's so much cheaper to get into.

It costs money, where as the Wii and PS3 are free
