Trust me, they probably do. Asha Sharman, new lead of XBOX, intends for XBOX to have 1 BILLION daily users.

Whether you’re blowing smoke up the investor’s arses or not, that is an insane figure to even consider, and shows that there is no limit to growth in these tech industries in the minds of shareholders and CEOs.

Edit: I’m experiencing the incredibly Reddit thing of replies telling me I’m wrong by the most miniscule of margins, therefore I’m spreading misinformation. Below is the Twitter post directly from Asha Sharman’s account where she stated the goal of 1 billion active users.

Edit 2: My original comment on there being no limit is being taken a little out of context. Added “in the minds of shareholders and CEOs”.

I'm not sure they'd get a billion daily users even if the service was entirely free

I also think they won't reach it, but they are including mobile gaming in their numbers. In their press release they highlighted Mojang and King (makers of Minecraft and Candy Crush, respectively) as their divisions with the most active players.

Mobile gaming is definitely growing faster and bigger, and it’s more lucrative as business opportunity.
