visto che ogni tanto devo pure postare qualche buona notizia, ecco qualche numero interessante (per ms, non per me 
)
March 04, 2003 - Microsoft has announced today that the number of Xbox Live! subscriptions sold has topped the 350,000 mark. That's a lot of subscribers.
That's not all, though. Microsoft has also unleashed a host of other interesting figures relating to Live! usage, like the fact that in the week or so that Mechassault updates have been available, they've been downloaded to about 172,000 Xboxes. Geez!
Every week, they also reveal, Xbox Live! hosts more than 3 million game sessions, totaling nearly 16 million hours, or almost 18,000 years of play time.
Unsurprisingly, the Live! kits are beating the tar out of PS2's network adapter, selling 44 percent more units. Microsoft also points out that Ubi Soft's ever popular and totally cool Ghost Recon has sold 35 percent more copies on Xbox than on PS2.
"Xbox's online service and voice capabilities really enhance the experience gamers get when playing Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, quoth Tony Kee, Ubi Soft's vice president of Marketing. "It's the social interaction with other fans of the game that makes Ghost Recon on Xbox Live! so appealing."
According to Microsoft, the most desired online feature for 82 percent of Live! users is downloadable content, and that's what the big M plans to deliver.
"From day one, our mission has been to give players what they want next," declared J Allard, Microsoft's vice president of Xbox. "With the availability of downloadable content now on Xbox Live!, we're making a big step toward keeping gaming current and adding an additional element to the industry."
speriamo che anche in Europa succeda in questo modo, così la microsoft ci tratterà degnamente e ci darà tanti livelli da scaricare e server veloci, e magari la smetteranno di trattarci così male
