The folks at Xfire announced today that they`ve hit the 10 million registered user mark. The service which allows gamers to hook up and play games together was launched in 2004 and has become a defacto install for a lot of gamers. John and I have used the service in the past as it`s very easy to use and the in-game chat feature is nice for helping to kill time between rounds of Counter Strike.

This has to be a little bittersweet for Microsoft as their Live for PC service was supposed to do a lot of the same things and while it`s only been out for a few years it hasn`t exactly lit the world on fire. One almost wonders what could have been in Microsoft and not MTV had bought the service out a few years ago.
