However, it hasn't slowed Xbox Live sales a bit, and most people would be willing to pay $50 a year for centralized buddy lists and scoreboards.

whatever the reason. i just mean your paying for thier servers. if there were no servers, be no reason to pay.
personally id rather see private servers or users make thier own servers like with PC games. and just IMO, in order for consoles to compete online game wise. that will have to happen. if MS is the only company thats going to charge online. there are things the other companies can do to take advantage of that.
