Call of Duty 4 #1 on LIVE Once Again

Shafnitz — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:36:22 +0000

[Insert witty image about CoD4/Halo3 here.]

Major Nelson has just posted his weekly Xbox LIVE stats for last week and for the third week in a row Call of Duty 4 gets to waive the foam finger.

Now one must wonder if Halo 3 will ever make a triumphant return to reclaim it’s throne.

Call of Duty 4 On Top for Second Week

Shafnitz — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:01:58 +0000

I guess we can no more call it a fluke as Call of Duty 4 has held the top spot on Xbox LIVE for the second week in a row, according to Major Nelson’s weekly Xbox LIVE stats. Once again, Halo 3 has to be satisfied with a silver medal as CoD4 continues to dominate Xbox LIVE.

I must say, many of my friends have been playing CoD4 a lot recently, choosing to play it over Halo 3. If Infinity Ward can provide the long-time support to CoD4 that Bungie has shown to the Halo series, CoD4 could be here for a long, long time.

Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 Play King-Of-The Hill on Live Rankings

MrSpinch — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:16:53 +0000

And what game won? Call of Duty 4. Major Nelson reports that the top spot is once again CoD’s after last week’s move back to the top by Halo 3.

On a more personal note, if you see me playing either game, just know that I’m an easy kill. I suck at FPSes if I don’t have my trusty keyboard and mouse.

Halo 3 Back on Top of Xbox LIVE

Shafnitz — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 03:00:55 +0000

After being defeated for the first time since it’s release, Halo 3 has bounced back to reclaim the #1 spot on Xbox LIVE. Major Nelson has posted the Xbox LIVE stats for last week, and it appears that Master Chief wasn’t about to stay at the #2 spot for long. It will be interesting to see if Call of Duty 4 simply had a lucky week or if it will fight back to regain the crown. What say you?

Call of Duty 4 Takes Top Spot on LIVE, Beats Down Halo 3

Shafnitz — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:36:35 +0000

Major Nelson has posted his weekly Xbox LIVE stats for the week beginning January 14th. Among the various letters and numbers, one interesting statistic stands out. Call of Duty 4 has moved into the #1 spot, beating Halo 3 in the number of unique users playing the game. I haven’t gone back week-by-week to verify this claim, but I believe this is the first time Halo 3 wasn’t #1 since it’s release in September. If that claim is false, please set me straight in the comments.

This is pretty unprecidented, especially considering many people* think of the 360 as “the Halo 3 box.” I guess there is room for two games in this box.

*I am not included in this group of people. Taking a look at the list of games I own should prove that claim.

NPD Numbers Released: It Was a Good Year

Shafnitz — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:53:36 +0000

The NPD Group has released their sales numbers for the month of December and the full year. The bottom line: Your bank account suffered…

The industry as a whole (excluding PC games) saw a 43% increase in sales compared to 2006. How much did they make, you ask? $17.94 billion dollars! The Xbox 360 was no slouch in the console department selling 1.26 million units in December and 4.62 million in the entire year. It’s in the software sales, however, that the 360 really shines. The 360 version Call of Duty 4 was #1 for the second month in a row selling a whopping 1.47 million copies in December. Three other 360 titles made the top 10 for the month, including Assassin’s Creed, Halo 3 and Guitar Hero III.

On the annual sales front, Halo 3 dominated with 4.82 million copies sold, beating Nintendo’s Trojan horse Wii Play with Remote by 600,000 units. Call of Duty 4 and Assassin’s Creed also made the top 10 for the year.

Hit the link and come to terms with the realization of where all your money went this year.
