Also, 5 billion MS points have been purchased for use over Xbox Live Marketplace. The top three played games worldwide on the 360 are Halo 2, Gears of War, and Hexic HD, and the top downloaded XBLA games Street Fighter II, Bankshot Billiards 2 and Marble Blast Ultra. So there's some cool news you can use. Or at least keep in mind next time you get an Achievement or use Marketplace.

I'm the only one in my friend's list that owns Bankshot Billiards 2, and I'm glad I do..it's a great game! (i'm just surprised I know nobody else that had bought it.)

$62,000,000 spent in MS points. Not too damn shabby.

Toph.. I bought it, and enjoy it alot.
I like the online multiplayer of it, I rarely find people online wanting to play this though.

It'd be pretty tight if they could tell us who was the 6 millionth user or who got the 300 millionth achievement

With Sony and Nintendo having no online or really poorly implemented online games and Xbox not selling well in Japan, I have to ask... Do the Japanese not want to play games online?
