we haven't had the 'it doesn't count if the user isn't having fun' line in a while though
We're still on page one, have no fear.
Edit: mother fucker lol.

I use my PS4 to watch Netflix. I still count, huh?
It's really a shame that Steam has practically a monopoly on the PC gaming market.

Umm what? Was PSN always larger than XBL in monthly users? When did this become a thing?
Valve gets it.
This will never happen.The age of Sony is done.
good for the PC space and gaming in general, hopefully. I hope those users are spending their money on games that encourage good habits from the publishers and developers in question
Doesn't LOL have like 100m active monthly users?
Valve gets it.
Doesnt LOL have like 100m active monthly users?
Note that Valve calls them Players while PSN/XBL calls them Users. Not really the same.
I think you're getting Steam confused with piracy. Luckily Steam is giving it a good run for its money.It's really a shame that Steam has practically a monopoly on the PC gaming market.

I mean...Steam does sell movies/software.
Do those not count towards their MAU?

I have 4 accounts to download different games from different regions
Man, no wonder Microsoft can't wait for the Better Together patch to come out so they can boost their numbers up.

Both numbers are inflated, because we dont know what they count as active, or paying. Steam is also free, not the games...but other then that its free, while xbox live ans psn network is pay to do most of the play.
Valve is also a decent size company compared to Sony(only because they are rebuilding), but not a drip in MS pond, so i also dont understand some of the Valve praise when it comes to financials.

I hate this. Sales are already a joke compared to what they were, and I guess some kind of paywall/subscription is next.
Sigh this is why we can't have good things. Moving to GOG/Origin soon I guess.
In other news, PC gaming is dead lmao. A single PC game is 40 millions bigger than every Sony console combined.

Perhaps you should look up the definition of monopoly.
It wasn't always I don't think, but XBL lost active members a couple of years ago. It's stabilized I believe. There was a thread about it but I can't find it right now since I'm on mobile. I'd imagine the decline is a direct result of both Steam and Playstation's increased successes.
On the other hand, PSN has done nothing but grow, so it being ahead of XBL is no surprise these days.
At first those numbers may seem worrying for Sony
By that metric PSN stats are bogus too because some people only use it for Netflix at this point.so any one with "run steam when my pc starts" counts as active user... ok legit and real statistics
They're already the larger company. So you'll be ok with them swallowing up competition

I don't think he's counting PSP, vita etc in his assumptions. Just 360 v ps3Why would you think Xbox has larger MAU?
Are these for users who are actually in a game or just leaving the steam software open?
I can see where he is coming from, PC has been taking away attention from the console market for the last few years now. That is why the ps4 pro exists in the first place. Despite PS4 taking a larger market share this generation, the overall 3 console user base has shrunk from the ps/wii/60 era.Why would having the highest active online base be a worry for Sony?
