But it is a bit overhyped. It's not the god of all FPS games, bro, I can assure you.

Again, it gets so many players because it was marketed well, and had alot of people from Halo 2, AND its MS biggest franchise. And 10M people own the game, If 150,000+ people didn't log in a day, something is wrong.

But if you look at it in the big picture, 31M 360's, 10M Halo 3, 150,000+ people on a day... If you look at it from that point, it's not really that many.

Actually, it averages around 1,000,000 people that play daily.  100,000 people are usually on at any given time.

And just for a comparison.
