Because when you start an online multiplayer match with an "offline" co-op partner, both get on the leaderboards as long as he uses a valid Xbox account (and not a guest account).
Obviously you don't need to play co-op to get multiple entries on the leaderboards. Assuming you have 10 accounts on the same box, you could get 10 entries.
This is partially nullified by Minecraft owners who don't play online and therefore don't have a single leaderboard entry. Though in cases like Castle Crashers and Minecraft, there will always be more on it than less.
Just like I said, Minecraft did make it to 4m in September :P
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition has passed 4 million sales!
Incredible number, thanks to you all!
