There have been hordes of news about how GOW2 has yet to become the number one active Xbox live game. At first it would seem as though this was because of the horribly buggy match making when the game launched. But even after it was fixed in addition to a new map pack the number of live players is still the same.
I think what we are all failing to look at is shear numbers. Not to mention the fact that they released a map pack right after launch. Many gamers don’t have the game and a lot more haven’t even purchased yet. While the rest of us are still trying to learn where the torque bow is on certain levels. So I really wouldn’t expect a huge surge in activity due to extra content that I have to pay for. I can even admit as a hardcore Gears fan I have yet to purchase the map pack because its not necessary.
The games GOW2 is trailing have all sold at least 6 million copies with the exception of World at War.We are looking at Halo, CoD4, and CoD5 while GOW2 is sitting pretty around maybe 2.5 million right now. Even if all the players who own GOW2 got on at the same time it wouldn’t amount to half of the Halo or CoD4 players.
As time passes I am sure we will see more live activity from Gears but as for now it’s simply impossible to catch the leaders.Even though 3rd place isn’t exactly horrible on a system that relies solely on it’s online component.

HALO pwns them all 8)
I understand and have read your passion for Halo but no way no how does Halo pwn Gears or COD4.
