Microsoft announces that the online gaming service has smashed through another milestone...
Hereâs a statistic for all you number fans â“ somewhere in the world a new member is added to Xbox Live every 30 seconds. Whilst that is an impressive stat in itself, Microsoft has also confirmed that the number of subscribers to the online service has now broken through the 2 million mark â“ and steadily growing.
âReaching the two million member milestone in such a short time speaks volumes about the depth and vibrancy of the Xbox Live community,â said Robbie Bach, Senior Vice President of the Home and Entertainment Division and Chief Xbox Officer at Microsoft. âThis enormous growth is a true testament to the compelling content and engaging experiences enabled through Xbox Live today. The service is inspired by the creative power of the individual and fuelled by the passion of a worldwide community.â
Microsoft also clarified some of the details to look forward to on Live when Xbox 360 launches later in the year:
