... And there it is. Mario Kart Wii just caught up to Halo 3.

Yes that was my reasoning... but yes, my numbers were not based on anything in the same way as fastyxx just assumed Halo 3 must have more people playing currently because he thinks so.

From his reply he seems to now be talking about the online support in terms of additional content, which is a different matter.... Although Mario Kart does have the twice monthly competitions, but yes Halo 3 probably does get more than that, although his original point seemed to be that more DLC must mean more people are still playing the game.

 

I knew you didn't read the original post, because if you did you'd try and make more sense.

From the original post:

 

"But I'd much rather have a game that is tweaked monthly and regularly expanded/updated and regularly played for months and months and months after launch than a game that sells more but whose pre user lifespan is limited. It's a better blueprint for the future of gaming. See Burnout Paradise on both PS3 and 360 for a similar good buy for consumers."

 

Which was the whole point behind the discussion.  But you smelled anti-Wii bias because someone didn't bow down before all things Mario, so you got all huffy before you figured out what was going on.

 

Anyhow.  I really don't care.  Just haven't had a good back and forth post battle for awhile.  No worries, friend.

 

Wait, the discussion wasn't based on this?

"But a year after launch, at least 1 in 8 Halo 3 players play online in a given week, whereas there are a lot of sad little Marios sitting on people's shelves less than a year in. I like Galaxy a lot. Mario Kart is fun but I don't care much. It's disposable - nothing too new or exciting there"

And this?

"Having Halo 3 be a bigger seller would be better for gamers in that respect."

I'm not getting mixed into this discussion (as I have little knowledge about this), but I believe this is what they quoted you for.
