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.
