That’s what the NPD US figures show. $4.8bn was spent by Americans on the Xbox 360 in ‘09, with $1.1bn of that last month alone.
How much was spent on games last year for 360? That’d be about $2.7 billion. Microsoft tease us by mentioning their ”blockbuster-exclusives launching nearly every month in the first half of 2010″, with Mass Effect 2 the first to arrive January 26th in the US.
They’ve also got that crazy new Bungie title, what’s it called? Oh yeah - Halo: Reach - that’s about $5 billion in sales right there. Project Natal launches this holiday season.
