After Microsoft released the New Xbox Experience last month, sales on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace tripled. That’s amazing! I have to admit that I have found the interface to be more user-friendly because those tabs drove me crazy.
While there were massive (650%!!!!!) increases in Uno downloads after the integration of Avatars it was the staggering 49% increase in movie downloads (along with 30% for television shows) that surprised me most – maybe people are stocking up on holiday classics?
Xbox LIVE members are also adding more friends (up by 33%) and visiting the site more often (66% increase over last year).
I have to say that I really don’t use the Marketplace very much but with all the buzz, maybe I should spend a little more time checking it out…
