GTA IV falls to CoD4, and Arcade Action

For the first time since GTA IV has launched, CoD4 has surpassed it in total players yesterday. It lasted 44 Days which is a pretty good amount of time at the top, unless you are CoD4 which almost completely dominated the #1 spot for 170 days before losing it to GTA IV.  That's half of an entire year! Could it hold the spot again until November when another major FPS title is released?  A year or more of holding it down in the top 1 or 2, is an amazing feat in the console world where gamers quickly move onto the latest game.

In the arcade world neither new title sold well enough to break into the top 10 games (trials are not figured into this total).  WOTB: Commando 3 faired the best, taking the #1 spot for arcade games, beating out Uno, which is still going strong as the top played arcade game of all time, and still the top this month.  I am sure the promise of Street Fighter HD beta, helped convert a few sales.  Frogger 2 on the under hand, didn't break the top 10. But that didn't stop at least one arcade nut called Zebrasqual  from finishing off all the achievements in a day.

Yay! Call of Duty 4 = Best Game Ever.

GoW2 will dominate no doubt though...

Frogger 2 is a horrible, horrible game. Konami should be ashamed of themselves.

Also Zebrasqual's gamerscore looks kind of fishy. He got all of the Street Fighter II' achievements in 1 day? I've played that game for at least 15 hours and I have 45 gamerscore to show for it.

Actually he has played Street Fighter II several days if you view his Xbox.com profile But since he is a newer member to this site, the game only appears in his blog 1 day here. Which is how we track days, its only since being on the site, not his entire xbox live history.
