Even though Nintendo has been feverishly working to educate gamers on how to get online via their Wii console, Microsoft seems to have more technologically inclined users. The company announced today that with over 30 million consoles sold, 20 million of those are on the Xbox LIVE marketplace as active members.One advantage Microsoft has of course, is that many more Xbox 360 titles use online functionality to enhance gameplay. Other LIVE users connect simply to chat with friend, download movies, games and TV shows.
“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.”
