How many Uplay users?

Okay, we all know Steam is the leading game marketing platform in the world. I do NOT intend creating a ''I love/hate uPlay'' debate here, so please, just comment on-topic: how many users does uPlay have at the moment?

Uplay doesn't have an account number counter dude. It is nowhere near Steam, never mind Origin.

300k active users / 50 million accounts acording to ubisoft according to this article: http://www.gadgetreview.com/2013/11/steam-vs-origin-vs-uplay-comparison.html

Note that every ubisoft account is an uplay account, they have been around longer then uplay i think.

That's sorta cheating, because even if you made a Support account years ago just to talk to Ubisoft support, that still counts as a Ubisoft account.

From 50M, probably a half made an account because they were supposed to, in order to play AAA Ubisoft games.

While # of users is cheating a bit, the # of concurrent users shows much better comparison.
Steam basically has 6 million users on at all times. which is the watermark.

origin's # is their 'peak' that was reached during the SimCity rollout. But we have no histoircal data since that peak so it's not possible to say how many concurrent users they have on average. I can't actually find where they got that 300k number for Uplay from. I HATE articles that throw out numbers without references.

Also keep in mind that Ubisoft's console games also have Uplay baked in. Although it's not mandatory, I'd say a large amount of those accounts will have come from platforms other than PC.
