BTW

I have just the list but I also wanted to share an interesting data point: (that has been double checked) Halo: Reach was the number one game on Xbox LIVE for the past seven days and had nearly four times as many unique users playing the game on Xbox LIVE vs. Halo 3 for the week of Sept. 13.

  Halo Reach is not numero uno.

Major Nelson contradicted himself in that post. Reread the sentence you bolded again.

I don't believe for 1 second that MW2 beat Halo Reach for unique users....thats just impossible.  Halo Reach averages 600k people online whilst MW2 averages 250k.

You should've seen my reaction when they were trying to say Halo 3 had more than Reach.

So is this confirmed to be fake numbers?

Well, he said he made a mistake with the numbers and put Halo 3 ahead of it, then went back and redid it now with a contradiction. This week's numbers have been shot now, I don't know what to believe.
