Microsoft’s Major Nelson has revealed that a total of 1 billion hours are spent each month on Xbox LIVE as it sees a 157% increase in the number of people watching television and movies with its console. If that hasn’t already blown your mind, check out these other tasty facts for your inner (or outer) nerd.
- There are 45 million consoles sold in 35 countries.
- In the last year alone there has been an 157 percent increase in the time spent watching movies and television on Xbox.
- 42 percent of Xbox LIVE Gold members in the US are watching an average of an hour of television and movies on their Xbox, every single day or more than 30 hours of digitally distributed television and movies a month.
- The 25 million members of Xbox LIVE around the world are each spending more than 30 hours per month on the service – that means cumulatively Xbox LIVE members are now logging more than one billion hours a month on the service.
- Access to Xbox LIVE is expanding from 26 countries to 35 this November.
So, how many hours are you contributing to this figure?
