Since the release of NXE on November 19, the number of new friends added per Xbox LIVE member has risen by 33 per cent. Avatar-specific titles like A Kingdom for Keflings registered the second-best first week of performance ever, and UNO, which was updated to include in-game Avatars, saw a 650% increase in sales in just one day.
