Because Microsoft's still all giddy about the launch of the New Xbox Experience, it's released some new nuggets of information about the update and Xbox Live. NXE, apparently, has boosted the number of new friends added per Xbox Live member by 33%.
Also of interest is the fact that in the week following NXE's launch, Live Arcade sales almost tripled. In the same week, the number of movie downloads went up 49% and the number of TV episode downloads increased 30%.
Avatars would seem to have gone down well. UNO, a consistently popular Arcade title which got updated to include avatars, saw a 650% sales boost in one day.
