Microsoft have announced that they have more than 50,000 XBox Live users in Europe, bringing their worldwide total up to an impressive 350,000 users online XBox gamers.
To many the figure of 50,000 users across eight, European, countries over 5 months is not that impressive but the fact remains that the service has no competition so we have to take Microsoft's word for it since no one can claim higher sales.
