Xbox Live More Popular than iTunes?
Microsoft announced this morning that they'd reached 10 Million downloads with the new Xbox Live service, a download rate even faster than the iTunes Music Store. From the Gamespot article: "The tech giant also revealed that more content for Xbox Live is on the way. The company confirmed that new achievements and automobiles will be available for Project Gotham Racing 3, new multiplayer maps are headed to Perfect Dark Zero, and an online cooperative mode for Kameo: Elements of Power will be ready soon. The company did not say whether said downloads would be free or, as is more likely, come at a price."
Great. Now we can pay for a buggy game that now doesn't even have all the content finished yet. And we even get to pay for it!
Religion for nerds. Stuff that really matters
Itunes has no subscriber base. If you try to count the install base, you get my brother who never actually buys is but enjoys it's clunky interface and resource hogging to manage his own music on his hard drive.
