Top iPad Music Apps (a/o February 8th):
(
Microsoft is selling 3.8 million songs a month through Xbox Live, according to information released by the company. The sales rate comes from both Rock Band and Guitar Hero, in various editions. In total, Xbox gamers have purchased 45 million songs, based on Microsoft numbers.
The figures were used by Microsoft to support the assertion that Xbox is the "preferred stage" for both games. Microsoft claimed that two million copies of Rock Band are Xbox-compatible, or "almost one million more than the competition combined." The competition is most notably the Sony PS3, at least when it comes to the titles in question. Additionally, Microsoft noted that 80 percent of overall song downloads are coming through the Xbox.
That puts the overall monthly download rate at roughly 4.75 million. The broader total represents a tiny fraction of sales on the iTunes Store, though it potentially marks the beginning of an important sales platform.
