As Microsoft's 'E3: Bringing it Home' Xbox Live event ends, the company confirms the last Marketplace figures...
Microsoft has today announced that over 24 million downloads have been completed over Xbox Live Marketplace since the launch of Xbox 360 at the end of 2005. The news comes following the conclusion of Microsoft's 'E3: Bringing it Home' week that provided Xbox 360 owners a full free week of Live Gold membership for the duration of E3 2006. The event also allowed gamers to download a number of trailers, demos, and updates to several Xbox 360 games including the teaser for Bungie's Halo 3. During the week Microsoft confirmed that over 1.5 million gamers accessed Marketplace with over 5 million pieces of content downloaded during the week.
The company confirmed that the ten most popular pieces of content from the week were:
- Halo 3 Game Trailer (Microsoft Game Studios)
- Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Free Playable Demo (Capcom)
- Test Drive Unlimited Free Playable Demo (Atari)
- MotoGP '06 Free Playable Demo (THQ)
- X-Men: The Last Stand Pack (20th Century Fox)
- Gears of War Game Trailer (Microsoft Game Studios)
- Call of Duty 2: Skirmish Map Pack (Activision)
- Spiderman 3 Game Trailer (Activision)
- Fable 2 Trailer (Microsoft Game Studios)
- Uno Xbox Live Arcade Game (Microsoft Game Studios)
Making the announcement Peter Moore, Corporate Vice President of the Interactive Entertainment Business in the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft said, "Only Xbox Live could bring E3 home in high definition for consumers around the world...The sheer volume of downloads during E3 week was simply staggering. To put it in perspective, all the printed material in the U.S. Library of Congress is estimated to be about 20 terabytes, and Xbox Live delivered 30 times that amount in just 7 days. While others talk about online entertainment in the console space, we are delivering it in glorious high-definition to the millions of members we have across 24 countries. "
We'll have more news shortly...
