Xbox Live entertainment app usage up 50%.
The number of people using entertainment apps is up 50% globally from November to December according to Xbox Lives Major Nelson. The Increase is in now doubt to do with the latest update that came last November and brought a host of new features, apps and a new Metro look. The update made the dashboard more entertainment based highlighting features like Youtube, Lovefilm Sky Player and much more.
Major Nelson also said the hours of video consumed globally on Xbox Live increased 140 percent from 2010 to 2011. In the original blog post Major Nelson said this:
We are committed to enhancing and expanding our global entertainment offerings on Xbox LIVE in 2012. Moving forward, you can expect to see more of the world’s leading entertainment providers coming to Xbox and a continued rollout of additional entertainment apps.
With more Entertainment apps coming to the Xbox 360 I think we can safely say that the Xbox 360 is no longer just a Games Console.
