Get Your Game On » Overview » The Top 20 LIVE Games of 2009

This has been reposted from the Major Nelson. It is interesting that if there was only one Call of Duty it would have whipped the snot out of Halo 3. Kinda of like GM with their trucks, Ford has that top spot for the F-150, but the different versions of the GM 1500 sell 2-2.5x as many as the Ford.

 

  Take it how you will though, Halo 3 is still top of the heap, the same with Halo 2 for the Xbox. Quite an accomplishment for games that are 2 and 6 years old. Hopefully Microsoft shares some love with the Live money. I'm actually surprised of how well that ODST has done though as brain damaged as it was at launch.
