US consumers spent $4.8 billion on Xbox 360 hardware, software and accessories in 2009, according to Microsoft, with $1.1 billion in sales during December alone.
The company also claims $2.7 billion was spent on Xbox 360 games during the year, with the console accounting for a 43 per cent share of third-party sales – or $2.4 billion.
MS have come a long way since the old Xbox..
Thats a lot considering they didnt even release any huge games last year. With Halo and Natal this year MS will easily have their biggest year ever.
4.8 Billion (with a B) spent just in the U.S. on Xbox stuff in 2009.
Man... that's probably more than some countries GDP! LOL...
Can see microsoft reporting another profitable year for the xbox division.
good for gaming, good for me
