Two billion Microsoft Points spent via online service
Downloads via Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace have surpassed the 50 million mark, doubling the 25 million figure reached only three months ago.
The release of EA’s Madden NFL 07 has helped boost the numbers, with two million hours of gameplay logged in the first seven days and 600,000 in-game achievements recorded.
Xbox Live Arcade title Texas Hold 'Em has also set a day one record as the fastest downloaded item on Xbox Live Marketplace. It was also the first full game to be offered free if downloaded within the first 48 hours of release.
Other figures released by Microsoft make impressive reading. The currency used on Xbox Live Marketplace, Microsoft Points, has surpassed two billion units sold - with over 60 per cent of Xbox 360 owners now connected to Xbox Live.
