Microsoft has offered an interesting statistic about its Xbox Live online service, confirming that female gamers represent around 40% of the Xbox Live audience in the U.S.

The Xbox Live online service is quite popular and Microsoft has relayed some of the latest stats concerning it during a financial meeting last week.

According to Gamespot, Xbox Live has 48 million members in 41 countries and all of them enjoy not just gaming on the Xbox 360 console but also watching digital content like movies or TV shows.

What's more, around 42 percent of Live subscribers in the U.S. watch 30 hours' worth of movies or TV shows every month.

Xbox Live is also quite popular with female gamers, as over 40 percent of the "audience" from the U.S. represents that gender.

The online service is set to expand in the following months, in order to support the new Xbox One next-gen console.
