I imagin come 6 o clock the numbers are going to shoot through the roof due to americans coming home!

Id say 700k

Im curious to see this progress through the week if you can keep it going on a daily basis.

It may give us a better idea of relating preorder sales and when most people pick up big titles. kudos.

I am gonna throw a 1 mil out there.

I also wonder how this directly correlates to sales. Some people don't log onto Live, but also some people have multiple accounts per console. Should be interesting to compare this with ioi's stats.

I will keep it up through the week.

People are hyped for this, but not Halo 3 hyped, so I don't think many people would have taken the day off work like Halo 3. So I'm predicting a massive 1.4 million ....

Halo 3 had like a 1 million the first night i remember, which was insane. My only thing is software will be amazing, but it seems its mostly current owners buying this game. I predicted 230k for this week ww, i hope I am right.

also this is only online players and considering not even half of all xbox owners have a gold subscription this isn't reflective of all units sold.

not sure if you were joking and if so sorry about that for missing it but your 230k is waaaaay off.  It's already well past that.

I think he means hardware, I hope so anyway ...

hardware.....

This tracks anyone who logs onto Live to play the game.  Not just people playing online matches.  So silver is included.
