Xbox Live members hit the 4 million mark

Microsoft announced late yesterday that Xbox Live has reached the 4 million connected member mark as GameDaily notes the number most certainly includes "both paying Gold members and non-paying Silver members." In light of the news, Bill's software/hardware company expects total Xbox Live members to exceed 6 million by next summer.

The press release also observes that more than 70% of connected Xbox 360 consoles have downloaded content from the Xbox Live Marketplace, 24% of downloadable demos convert to a purchase on Xbox Live Arcade, and more than 2 billion productivity hours have been lost (read: hours spent online) since the platform's inception back in 2002.

Xbox Live's Hal 9000 had this to say in response to the news: "Boom! Headshot!" spoken in an eerily calm manner.
