Xfire passes the 7 million-user mark, hosts CS: Source tourney |
Ó
In the three months that flew by, Xfire jumped from a mere 6.5 million registered user base to a whopping 7+ million, all over the world. Since the free online service, thanks to Xfire's in-game IM widget, caters to over 800 PC games (which includes MMOs) worldwide, it should be interesting to find out what Xfire's Xstatics numbers pull out for the month of April and May.
According to Mike Cassidy, CEO of Xfire, the current user base now provides 14,300 man-years on gameplay and activity within the community. And that's just for the month of March alone. There's a wealth of information that marketers and game developers could tap into, because instead of focusing on single region or market alone, Xfire actually monitors what gamers play everyday, wherever they are.
According to the official press release, Xfire is also currently hosting an invitational Counter-Strike: Source tournament for North America. The competition, called "The Ridiculously Long Lasting Stride Xfire Cup 2007," is sponsored by Stride Gum and offers US$ 24,000 in prizes for the participating North American teams.
