Well-respected Xbox 360 magazine once again secures the number

The UK’s leading independent Xbox 360 magazine, X360,
has maintained its market-leading independent status with
the announcement of the latest ABC audited sales figures
for Jan-Jun 2008. With average sales of 30,203, X360
continues to be the most popular independent Xbox 360 title
in the UK, beating its nearest rival by over a thousand copies.
With its sister magazine 360, Imagine Publishing now
controls 49% of the independent Xbox 360 magazine market
(excluding the official magazine) and sells on average 43,210
copies every month.
“I am thrilled to still be the market leader,” said Simon Miller,
Deputy Editor of X360, “and it’s a testament to the hard
work and talent of the whole team. Looking to the future we’re keen to increase this lead
further, especially with the number of exciting games leading up to Christmas and our now
solid online presence thanks to X360’s website (
www.x360magazine.com) and podcast.”
X360’s position as the number one Xbox 360 magazine is thanks to its focus on quality
coupled with securing the biggest exclusives and the dedication of its editorial and design
team. Packaged with a free DVD, featuring brand-new trailers, features and entertaining
commentaries, and essential book, X360 continues to be the must-have magazine for
the latest Xbox 360 games, with in-depth previews, honest reviews and a unique readerinspired
Community section.

delighted to be the leading independent Xbox title, and this cements our ability to provide
our advertisers with unrivalled platforms in the games market.”
