Great, a game looking good on on all consoles!
Higher numbers of players online does not translate into a greater online experience. Smaller numbers can allow for different feel.

 

I'm inclined to agree with you somewhat, but 8 players is pretty damn sparse. If the maps really are the same, trying to fill out a map designed for 32 players with only 8 is going to feel pretty desolate. And what happens when people strart dropping out of an 8 player match? Lose two people on one team and the remaining two are outnumbered two to one!

24 players is about my sweet spot. 16 is a good minimum, while 32 is getting to be too crowded.

It says 8 minimum, so hope is not extinguished.
The right number of people online is dependent on the type of map and gameplay. Ultimately, the type of game; small, kind of tactical, squad games like Gears revolve around a smaller number. While the more frentic shooters with larger maps have more players, this include many FPS's stretching all consoles, including Wii, 360, and PS3

Summary, numbers should be based on type of game.
