Microsoft just issued a press release containing the Xbox 360 Momentum Fact Sheet. What the heck is a momentum fact sheet, you ask? In a nut shell, it's just a list of things the company can shove up the face of competition. Sounds a little too proud? There's nothing wrong with that if you have something to be really proud of, don't you think so?

The overall software attach rate for Xbox 360 is now pegged at 4.6 titles per console, meaning each Xbox 360 user has acquired more or less 5 games. Likewise, attach rate for accessory is quite impressive at 2.9 units per console. More than 10 million Xbox 360 units have been sold, and 6 million of those consoles' users are members of Xbox Live.

Furthermore, Microsoft estimates that gamers spent over 2.3 billion hours on the network playing online games ever since 2002. An average of more than two million texts and voice messages are being sent everyday while each unique Xbox Live Gold subscriber has at least 22 friends on his friends list.

All Xbox 360 owners have unlocked almost 300 million Achievements and of these, a combined total of 7.5 million Gamerscore have been created. Other worth mentioning milestones include the following:

As a result, nearly 50% of Xbox LIVE members in the U.S. log into Xbox LIVE Marketplace every time they turn on their console.

How is that a milestone? It hasn't happened yet. And it's not like it's some incredible feat, they added online play, whoo.

 » Excellent news

Good to see conformation that the 360 has now SOLD and not just shipped over 10 million units that should shut up the Fanboys.

The attach rate of software to each 360 is amazing mind you the games on the 360 and the online gameplay is also amazing so im not surprised

 » I dont like MS.

Nor do i like Sony, Nintendo and mac. But I like 360, PS3, and Wii. What is there to like about anything Mac.
Behind these corp are one scumbag who stop at nothing, and i mean nothing to gain the ultimate riches as if they are not riches enough.
I notice fanboyism, and fangirlism, take a liking to the parent corp of their favorite product. Why like them when the company don't care for you when they dont even put in 10% of the effort to help you(like customer service) compare to the effort they put in to make money.
So like the console just because it suit you well, not what they tell you to like.

 » Ghey

Microsoft is scared.... they need anything to try to sound like they are better. PS3>xbox


   Re: gd (Unregistered) - 2007-03-06
 » Right

And Sony says nothing because they're confidant right? Oh wait, no, it's just because the PS3 hasn't done anything.

Of course, the PS3 has been out for about a third of the time the 360 has, so who knows what will happen down the road, but if things keep up as it is I'm gonna guess not much. I can still walk into any of my three Gamestops and buy a 60GB PS3, I even saw one go for $500 on eBay (60GB, not 20)

 » Exactly

F**KING Exactly, We have PS3 fanboys constantly down our throats with threats and speculation "Our console Matches Your Console And Its Better And S**T. But Why are they saying this, Cos they have listened to Sonys babble and there starting to get a bit on edge that their console maybe not be such a big pop. Please If Anyone is going to argue against the comments I have made please bring somthing other that PS3 OWNZ, 360 SUX or some *****E like that.
