A few Xbox stats before we head into E3
>> From majornelson.com:
[QUOTE]
Today we announced that by extending the capabilities of the Xbox platform with Kinect and Xbox LIVE, Microsoft has “changed the tail” of the typical console lifecycle, showing dramatic gains in the fifth and sixth years of this generation. (see chart)
In addition, we’ve released the following data points:
* Microsoft has now sold 55 million Xbox 360 consoles across 38 countries and sales are accelerating.
* Xbox 360 maintains its lead in the U.S. as the top selling console in 2011, and ten of the past eleven months.
* In the first four months of 2011, Xbox 360 has seen a 29 percent year over year increase in sales, which is more than triple the growth of PlayStation 3 and the largest growth of any console on the market.
* There are now nearly 35 million active Xbox LIVE members worldwide spending an average of almost 60 hours a month on the service.
* Cumulatively Xbox LIVE members are now logging 2.1 billion entertainment hours a month.
Next week, we’ll be on stage in Los Angeles for our annual E3 Media Briefing, so be sure to tune in for more announcements.

JTAG Content Manager 1.0
>> Xamphear released JTAG Content Manager 1.0:
[QUOTE]
TAG Content Manager 1.0 by xamphear. Send comments and bug reports to: jtagcm /AT/ gmail.com
What This App Does:
* Browse 360 files on your PC by their real info, like game name and package title.
* Upload files (XBLA, DLC, GOD, Avatar, Title Update) to your console over FTP with a single click. Files are automatically uploaded to the right folders.
* Scan the Content folder on your 360's HDD to a database so that while browsing content on your PC you can see if it's already on your 360 or not, even if your 360 is off.
* Drag and drop files to other applications, if you'd prefer to use your own FTP client.
* Restore the original filenames for XBLA and DLC.
* View the MediaID of Title Updates and GODs so you can match them, and search JQE or XBUC for matching TUs.
* View the MediaID of ISO files. (Requires abgx360 be installed.)
Please see the About box for credits and thanks. This app owes a lot to other more talented 360 hackers.
