Game Download Stats

[Studley]

Seeing as you were asking Major about how many people had downloaded poker, there's (sort of) a way of finding out:

MGC shows you how you rank against people across the world, and says that I currently sit 3822nd of 154,285 (so that's how many people have played and downloaded poker)

I've been kind (bored) enough to put down all the figures for the games on my list, the retail games figures aren't quite accurate because some people will be playing without Live access, but the Arcade leaderboard is accurate

Who have actually started up the game. While connected to Live. And finished a game. Entering a score in the leaderboards.

Well, Mygamercard.net states that it's only ranking against 662053 people. I'm sure there is more than that...?

[Curry]

Depends on their measuring. If it's only the MGC members the numbers are way off obviously (they'd be processing who of their members actually played that game according to their history, thus ignoring the other 90% of gamertags, and the players that have history disabled.

Pretty Impressive numbers. I can't belive PDZ is in 3rd for top retail played.

Have you any idea how frigging many copies of that they gave away for free?

Poor Football Manager 2006 languishing at the bottom of the table.

Remember that these could all be over counted. I have 4 logins and they have all played on most of my full arcade games even though I have only paid for them once. So my download is being overcounted by up to 3....

[bigsteveouk]

Some interesting numbers there.

Yeah but a lot of users don't use Live, so it may still be quite an acurate guess

I think top360tag did something like these stats to get an idea of estimated sales of games. Their site is linking to my converter with some pretty big numbers.
