Here’s some staggering money stats for you. Did you know that US consumers spent a whopping US$ 4.8 billion on Xbox 360 hardware, software and accessories for the year of 2009? Yep, despite all your complaints and rants, you still made them 4.8 bill richer.

 

Breaking down the stats, Microsoft reports that they raked in some US$ 2.7 billion on games alone during last year, with US$ 2.4 billion earned from third-party shares. Because of these numbers, Microsoft faces the new year ahead with much confidence, saying that 2010 will be the “biggest year in Xbox history,” given that they have big game title launches in store, and of course, the big debut of Project Natal.
