And it damn well deserves it! It's a truly brilliant game.

It's rather sad to see Halo Reach getting pummeled so badly in these charts (although I can't blame people for not being into that game as much as past Halo games)

Hopefully Halo 4 can bring the glory back to the series.

Interesting in that Battlefield sold almost a million more units and is online intensive where as Skyrim is not.  A whole lot of Battlefield purachsers are already not playing it.

And the Halo numbers area little skewed in that you kind of have to add Reach and Anniversary together to get the true number since you can play the new maps/lists off Anniversary as well.  THough I would agree, the numbers are sad.  Was on tonight on a Saturday evening, and it was only like 50k on there.  Used to be 200k not that long ago regularly.  But my friends list is almost all Halo people I've met, and it's been straight up Skyrim for three weeks.  (Including me, mostly, and I am a huge Halo nerd.)

Well the reason for that is most are all playing MW3/Black Ops whilst the rest are playing Skyrim. Even if a game doesn't have online MS tracks how many people are on Xbox Live while playing it. 

 

And even if you add Reach and Anniversary together you will still get an absolutely abysmal amount of players. The day after Anniversary came out I went online with it and there were only 25k people online so I imagine it's much less now and last time I was on Reach there were 45k people online. Halo 3 had more people online on average than Reach and Anniversary put together up until the time Halo Reach came out.
