Microsoft has noted today that over two million Xbox Live subscribers logged into the new Facebook app from their consoles in the first week of availability, the most popular of the new additions.
At the same time, Twitter, Zune Video and Last.fm were integrated to the console and Microsoft says 500,000 Last.fm accounts were created in just the first day.
Adds Microsoft spokesperson David Dennis: There have also been "tweets from nearly every market where we have Xbox Live."
Says Microsoft exec Neil Thompson: "It's just about giving people choice and giving them a slightly different experience. The Facebook and Twitter applications are bespoke to the service, they do have Xbox Live unique features, such as being able to see which Xbox Live friends are online, et cetera. And over time I'm sure that will evolve as well."
