According to data from the NPD (as indicated by Microsoft in a new blog post), gamers spent $4.6 billion on Xbox 360 games and accessories in 2011, with another $2.1 billion recorded on consoles during the year.

In December alone, Microsoft sold 1.7 million Xbox 360s, helping the company earn a total of $1.5 billion from total combined hardware, software, and accessories sales, according to NPD figures.
