Wow. It’s almost scary just thinking about what I’m about to type and refer to but Major Nelson just posted a look into the Xbox Live Marketplace stats courtesy of the Xbox PR Team. I’ll run down a few that were just crazy looking at.
-50 million downloads passed
-Over a million text/voice messages per day
-Over 2 billion Microsoft Points sold to date
If you do the math or allow me to do it for you, 2 billion comes to nearly $25 million in Microsoft Points! Can someone say ‘Marketplace Successful’?
Well head over now to see the rest of the statistics.

Like I said from the start:
360 will be second in line in the console war.
First in line at the bank.
