Microsoft is “only beginning to scratch the surface of what’s possible with Xbox”, Microsoft’s Robbie Bach has confidently proclaimed.
Speaking during the keynote speech at CES, Bach, Microsoft President, Entertainment & Devices Division, said that recent sales and online milestones meant “consumer demand for these great entertainment experiences has never been higher”.
He said: “With 28 million consoles sold worldwide, an active online community of 17 million members, and more than $1 billion spent on Xbox LIVE since the launch of the Xbox 360, it’s clear that consumer demand for these great entertainment experiences has never been higher.
“We’re only beginning to scratch the surface of what’s possible with Xbox.”
Bach took the opportunity to reveal some impressive statistics for the phenomenally successful Halo franchise. According to Bach, the Halo series has sold a whopping 25 million copies worldwide, and the average Halo gamer has spent an eye-watering 150 hours online with the stupendous FPS.
As reported by Gamesindustry.biz, Bach went on to reveal that online spend over the Xbox Live service rose an impressive 84 per cent in 2008.
