30 Million Xbox 360 Consoles Sold

Microsoft is breaking out the champagne to celebrate, and it has good reason to do so. It has just announced it has sold it’s 30 millionth console globally. Not only that, the Xbox Live community has hit 20 million users. Pretty impressive numbers.

“We’ve always been confident that Xbox 360 offers more entertainment value than any other console on the market, and these latest numbers show that consumers agree,” said Don Mattrick, senior vice president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “We expect our growth to continue to accelerate. Our news at E3 next week will underscore our commitment to bringing blockbuster entertainment experiences to everyone and to growing the Xbox entertainment brand globally.”

Other interesting figures include the fact that Xbox 360 users own 8.3 titles each on average, and that Xbox LIVE has seen a 136% increase in new members since the launch of the New Xbox Experience last year.
