GameIndustry:

Microsoft has said that digital content is the fastest-growing portion of its games business, and the company intends to capitalise on the phenomenon further in 2009.

Speaking to our sister site Eurogamer.net Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg revealed that the team behind the New Xbox Experience is already focused on delivering more innovative content and services to the Xbox 360 this year.

"We’re seeing record revenues, particularly in the UK, of consumers spending money on digital content… It’s quickly become the fastest-growing portion of our business. I think that will continue to accelerate at a rapid pace," he added.
