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."

Talk to me when XBL has a billion downloads...

Apple iTunes downloads passes 1 billion songs

(Disclaimer: I use and like both itunes and XBL, but saying that something that just hit 10m downloads is more popular than something that just passed 1b is ridiculous.)

same as iTunes

The XBOX360 has been out for 4 months now -- that's the same amount of time it took iTunes to sell 10 million songs. But, Xbox has been released world-wide -- at that time, iTunes hadn't launched in europe yet and was only available to rabid mac owners.
