Microsoft: New Xbox Experience has been good for business
Xbox’s famous blogger Major Nelson has posted figures relating to Microsoft’s recent launch of the New Xbox Experience for Xbox 360 owners. It seems that the update was justified for his company.
The sales of Xbox Live Arcade titles tripled during the week that the new Experience was released, with preference given to some of the Avatar-enabled titles. Uno, which has been out for years, saw a 650% increase in downloads the day Avatar support was added.
For the week after the launch, movie downloads went up by 49% and TV show downloads went up 30%. The New Xbox Experience brings these to the forefront, turning the Xbox 360 into a media hub. (Hey, we thought that was Sony’s thing…)
There are over 14 million users on Xbox Live.
