Xbox LIVE sees biggest month ever

January 2009 saw the most members join LIVE than in any previous month since the service launched in November 2002. Currently more than 17–million people are now connected over LIVE. In addition, the January NPD numbers also reveal that Xbox 360 sales were up 33 % from last year. Some other PR factoids for you to digest:

• More than 1 million Xbox LIVE members now enjoying Netflix's streaming video service
• Each household has watched an average of 16 movies over the service
• Xbox 360 is the only place to get the complete storylines for hit games like Grand Theft Auto IV and Fallout 3
