Microsoft shows post-NXE stats, no hard figures included
Xbox production head Aaron Greenberg’s released a ton of stats on post-NXE Live, and it all makes for cheery reading. If you’re Microsoft. And you’re prepared to gloss over the fact that none of these benchmarks t have real numbers attached to them.
Bullets, all taken from Joystiq an Nelson:
- Marketplace downloads of TV episodes were up 30% and movie downloads up 49% the week after the NXE launch.
- No Netflix data was released.
- Xbox LIVE Arcade sales almost tripled in the first week after the New Xbox Experience launched.
- Post-NXE “the number of new friends added per Xbox LIVE member has risen by 33%” across both Gold and Silver Xbox Live memberships.
- UNO which was updated to include Avatar support, saw a 650% sales spike “in just one day.” No actually sales figures were released.
- A Kingdom for Keflings was the second-largest XBLA launch game ever. No sales figures were released.
More through there.

A Kingdom For Keflings is surprisingly good! I’m going to buy the full thing, my son thinks it’s aces.

You’re a giant and you help the little guys build a town by training them to fetch wood and mine stone and stuff. It’s a bit like a combat-free version of The Settlers. With a giant.

It’s super. Technically wonky, but I’m really into it now. In fact, it’s a shame it was the office Christmas party last night ‘cos I didn’t get a chance to play.

ha! Excellent. I fucking love(d) it. I’m just waiting on some more DLC and ME2 info. BioWare has gone completely dark on everything apart from TOR and Dragon Age recently.
Need more info.
I downloaded some music from iTunes too, especially the menu music when you boot up the game: fantastic.

K4K is really rather charming – there’s not really a ‘game’ to it (no bad stuff happens and there are infinate supplies of resources) – but it’s fun to see your avatar being a giant and doing stuff.
A bit of a must for kids, both big and small IMHO.

Yes, all the fun seems to be in ‘doing it your own way’. Which I think is precisely why my son loves it. It’s a very relaxing game.
