More from the Austin Game Conference. As I sheepishly wore my Xbox Lanyard (it's all they offered) I got to sit in on the Keynote speech from Scott Henson of M$. According to his speech M$ has more than 1 million Xbox Live users which is a phenomenal user growth rate. Actually topping the number of people that TiVo has. There are also more than 150 Xbox Live games on the market today (is that correct?) with closer to 200 expected by Christmas this year. Also the average Xbox Live user in the USA plays an avg 24 hours a month.

They are also working on getting the XNA syestem out to developers sooner so more and more PC games can easily be ported to the Xbox system. All in all it looks like Xbox is coming up roses. However next time Scott skip the all the Gilligan's island refrences would you?
