Xbox unveils its latest design… and it’s not what you might think

Not content with offering the ultimate entertainment and gaming access via the new Xbox One S console, available in 500GB and 1TB versions from today, the team at Xbox Australia has now turned its hand to the world of fashion design, releasing their first collection known simply as the ‘Xbox Onesie.’

So what might you be streaming or gaming when rocking the ultimate Xbox Onesie?

Xbox Australia has today released new research that shows Australian’s are consuming entertainment at an ever growing rate, with four in five Australians (84 per cent) streaming up to ten hours of entertainment each week.

The survey of over 1,000 Australians – commissioned by Xbox to celebrate the launch of the new Xbox One S console, identified The Big Bang Theory as the most streamed television show (20 per cent), beating Game of Thrones (15 per cent) and MasterChef (15 per cent).

James Bond, the world’s most revered secret agent, is the nation’s favourite film or TV character, followed closely by Game of Throne’s Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, and the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, Jon Snow.

And if we’re gaming it’s likely that we’re playing Grand Theft Auto (18%), Tomb Raider or FIFA (14 per cent each) who took out the top three places for the nation’s favourite gaming franchise. The world’s most famous tomb raider, Lara Croft, was the most popular gaming character, followed by the iconic Sonic the Hedgehog in second and Master Chief from the Halo franchise in third.

When it comes to sport, the survey cemented our reputation as a sport-loving nation, with 23 per cent of Australian’s spending their leisure time watching various sports at home. Approximately two thirds (63 per cent) of the sport watched is Australian, with Aussie Rules (AFL) identified as the nation’s favourite sport (30 per cent), followed by NRL (20 per cent) and cricket (13 per cent) – with global heavyweights such as the NBA and English Premier League surprisingly at only 6 per cent each.
