Let the Halo bashing begin…

  Play what you want. Others will play what they want. The chart’s for fun. No game is going to get elected President because of their ranking.
  - Russell Gorall
    
    The chart also shows how little the people who bought Halo 4 play it. I nominate DMC reboot for President this month, that is a really fun game.
    - Hugoku
      
      A fun game which nobody plays apparently… Must be bad then.
    - https://live.xbox.com/MyXbox/Profile?gamertag=DarkGin87 Lee Rayson (DarkGin87)
      
      Of course another halo 4 remark and you barely played it
    - Sanglant
      
      the top 4 games played are 3 games that came out this Fall and Minecraft. that actually shows Halo 4 gamers are playing it a lot, but thanks for coming out. no person with a normal personal life acts like you do on social media, so I probably should feel sorry for you but then I realize maybe you act like this in real life too. either way, its time to grow up, kid.
- http://twitter.com/StrikeSudden StrikeSudden
  
  Insane. Lust like every other area of life. People want to make others think like them.
- http://twitter.com/_josHaas_ ɾosɥ ɥɐɐs
  
  Since when is #4 on the list a bad thing? You’re NEVER going to beat the latest Call of Duty, and Minecraft/FIFA have rabid fanbases and are immensely popular.
  - Sanglant
    
    yeah, its like this guy doesn’t realize Minecraft/FIFA have worldwide fanbases too.
  - tomo008866
    
    Same was said about Halo back in its day of prime.

just wanted to know whats up with the Scott Pilgrim update? the release date for the DLC was today. IS it on delay again?

  delayed

Halo 4 beat Call of Duty!!!!

PS4 announcement February 20th!!

  Trolls gonna troll.

Why is REEL STEEL always on the list somewhere haha. WHO is buying this lol. I think this list is BS.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Curtis-Isabell/1036013363 Curtis Isabell
  
  its not sales, its people who logged in that week, maybe they have a real dedicated audience who plays at least once a week?
  - Hugoku
    
    No, for Arcade titles it’s actually full purchases not unique IDs.
    Maybe it’s part of some constant giveaway?
- http://twitter.com/StrikeSudden StrikeSudden
  
  When does Call of Duty become a punch line like sequel movies. All I can say is another one. Again!
  - Russell Gorall
    
    Same for Halo and Gears.
- mcmax3000
  
  “I think this list is BS.”
  
  I’m pretty sure if they were going to fake something on the list, it wouldn’t be putting the ‘Real Steel’ XBLA game in the 20th spot on the XBLA list.

Here we are… Shank, NBA Jam, Warp, NFL Blitz…

Promotions = sells

But I guess it doesn’t appeal for some people to realize this…
I won’t be surprised if we see, for example, Hydrophobia on the list next week. It’s a “not-so-nice” game, but for 160 MSP it’s hard to pass by.

And, well, the community doesn’t help to improve sales either. While they keep buying loads of full priced games and overpriced GoD and DLCs, there’s no reason to change.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Curtis-Isabell/1036013363 Curtis Isabell
  
  agreed. doesn’t help that paying for gold is money that could be spent on arcade games anyway.
- https://live.xbox.com/MyXbox/Profile?gamertag=DarkGin87 Lee Rayson (DarkGin87)
  
  any game 200 msp or less it worth it for a few hours of play imo
http://www.facebook.com/people/Curtis-Isabell/1036013363 Curtis Isabell

who wants to be the crysis 3 beta’s position will drop next week? also good job minecraft, haven’t played it in a long time but glad to see people still enjoy it, hope next gen consoles get an updated version

Why is it so important to list Minecraft in the 360 full titles area?
- Superman64
  
  What’s the matter? Did it beat your favorite game?
  - Jordan Mcdonald
    
    What’s the matter? Did u get beat up much as a child?
    - Superman64
      
      Uh oh…some one else is upset that their favorite game got beat by Minecraft.
  - PSN_IS_GARBAGE
    
    I could care less as I don’t follow whats popular on live anyhow. But with all due respect, I’ll never understand the love for mindcraft. A silly level editor is all it is to me and I have 0 intrest in level editors being paraded around as if they are games. I’ll never understand the appeal for Mindcraft, much less why it’s so poplular. To each their own I guess.
- http://twitter.com/damashedavenger kit walker
  
  the top list is any games played (full or arcade)… minecraft just happens to be the only arcade that made it in.
http://twitter.com/Ganon255 Ganon255

Kind of surprised ‘Far Cry 3′ is so far down on the list.
- http://www.facebook.com/people/Curtis-Isabell/1036013363 Curtis Isabell
  
  i’m not after you beat the single player there isnt much else to do, the multiplayer though fun is broken and the map editor is so nerfed the community that kept FC2 alive already left.
  - http://www.facebook.com/people/Bush-O-Connor/555604190 Bush O Connor
    
    i was going to pick it up for the map maker, think i’l wait till its bargin bin. thanks curtis
Russell Gorall

I don’t hate Halo any more than the people who bought it.
- Jordan Mcdonald
  
  lol, right on cue… thanks for illustrating mine and hugokus point spaz
http://www.facebook.com/people/Bush-O-Connor/555604190 Bush O Connor

major any chance of doing this by region. i dont think ive seen NBA2k13 here in the shops.
wonder what the difference between USA and Europe would be. europe would probably have FIFA at number 1
