March Game Stats

Call me a geek, but I find game statistics for 360voice fascinating.  So I thought I would share a wrap up of the March game stats.  First, starting with the most played games. Ranked by total gamers for the entire month.

Top Games for March

1. Call of Duty 4 - 337,712

18. Condemned 2: Bloodshot - 21,403
19. N+ - 21,295
20. Assassins Creed - 21,070

A few facts that I like from this list...

1. Call of Duty 4 although still number 1, lost about 1000 players per day since February, or about a 15% drop in players, where as Halo 3 has no drop in average players per day, since February.
2. The oldest game is Gears of War (17 months old), with Rainbow Six Vegas (16 months old) not far behind, followed by Forza 2 (10 months old) and Halo 3 (6 months old).
3. The list contains a game and it's sequel, Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2.
4. FPS was by far the most played genre, followed by Music, then RPG.
5. N+ an arcade game, just made the list, which is very rare.

Speaking of Arcade games here is the top 5 arcade games for the month

1. N+ - 21,295
2. Brain Challenge - 13,866
3. UNO - 13,045
4. Geometry Wars Evolved - 10,842
5. Texas Hold'em - 8,709

Finally not to focus on the negative, but the least popular games of the month were Screwjumper! for arcade, and BOMBERMAN Act:Zero for US Retail titles.

Well that was a lot of fun (at least for me) if you have any feedback, or want to geek out of over stats, here might be a good place to do it.

Those Call of Duty 4 numbers should increase with the new maps.

And Halo 3's numbers will too for the same reason on the 15th.
