We’ve just released some interesting Xbox data that I thought you might enjoy:

• There are 42 million consoles sold in 35 countries.
• In the last year alone there has been an 157 percent increase in the time spent watching movies and television on Xbox.
• 42 percent of Xbox LIVE Gold members in the US are watching an average of an hour of television and movies on their Xbox, every single day or more than 30 hours of digitally distributed television and movies a month.
• The 25 million members of Xbox LIVE around the world are each spending more than 30 hours per month on the service – that means cumulatively Xbox LIVE members are now logging more than one billion hours a month on the service. 
• Access to Xbox LIVE is expanding from 26 countries to 35 this November.

And when we ship the next dashboard update in the very near future, Xbox LIVE will launch ESPN on Xbox LIVE, along with Video Kinect.

This is most impressive since it's right in line with VGChartz. Keep up the awesome work.  

42 shipped or sold?

If its sold, vgchartz have overtracked by a little...

If its shipped, vgchartz have overtracking by 3 million or more!

42 million consoles sold not shipped in 35 countries .

How many countries are there in the World?

what? I thought MS report said it was 44m or sumthing????

he is only counting what has been sold in 35 countries not the whole world :P as there are over 190 countries in the world!

I think that these 35 countries are the ones that Microsoft sell 360 officialy.

Or maybe it's the ones that have Live. Even if is this case, MS don't sell 360 OFFICIALY in much more than 35 countries.

For example, in Brazil, with have almost 200 million habitants, Sony introduced the PS3 in about 1 year /-. And these PS3s are ridiculously expensive compared to the ones in the gray market.

(sorry for bad english)

Thanks for clearing that up I thought for a moment that the 360 was massively overtracked.

about 1m Xbox 360 in China
