Gamers spend 1 billion hours per month on Xbox Live

DVDBack23 @ Oct 30, 2010 05:17 | 5 comments

Microsoft has said today that gamers spend 1 billion hours on Xbox Live each month, a significant amount of hours by any standard.

The company said recently that there are just over 25 million Xbox Live users so that means every Xbox Live gamer is spending an average of 40 hours per month playing games or streaming movies on their consoles.

Microsoft added that they have seen a 157 percent increase in the last year in the amount of time users are spending watching movies and TV shows via Netflix or other services.

12 million XBL users are watching at least 30 minutes of content every day.

Adding to the numbers is Microsoft's expansion of the service, with the number of countries offering access now standing at 35.

Every living human being has a life, they simply live it different than you. No individual life is better than another, stop degrading yourself by insulting others.

Hmm! Let's see, now if 1,000,000,000 hours per month were calculated in years, how many years would that be. So 1,000,000,000 hours divided by 24 would equal about 41666667 days and that divided by 365 days for a year equals 114,552 years. Sounds reasonable.:D
