Halo 3 hours and "number of players"
More than 2.7 million gamers have played “Halo 3” on Xbox LIVE in the first week, representing nearly one-third of the 7 million Xbox LIVE members worldwide. Within the first day of its launch, “Halo 3” players worldwide racked up more than 3.6 million hours of online gameplay, which increased more than elevenfold to 40 million hours by the end of the first week,
Halo 4 hours and "number of players"
Halo 4” also shattered the record for the largest number of players in the history of the “Halo” franchise, with over 4 million players in the first five days. Users spent a total of 31.4 million hours playing “Halo 4,”
Halo 5 hours and "number of players"
Fans have logged more than 21 million hours of total gameplay, including 12 million hours in campaign mode alone.
For Halo 5 we get the hours but no "number of players". And if we compare those hours... |
I can play this game too. Halo 3 had 3.6 million hours spent online. Halo 5 had 9 million.

I don't think what you're pointing out is contenxtually relevant, though: ricesou took MS press release numbers that show hours dropping from 40 (online) to 31.4 (total?) to 21 (total). That means what the only conclusive data we have is that, from Halo 3 to Halo 5, online hours played dropped from 40 to 9 (21-12). That represents a 75-80% drop in online hours played, which I think is the point that ricesou was attempting to highlight.
