Xfire launches Xstatics

Posted Mar 1, 2007 at 7:37PM by QJ Staff Listed in: Titles, News Tags: Blizzard, Xfire

As a leading online game matching and tracking service, Xfire now launches a global online gaming tracking program aimed to keep tabs on what gamers play and for how long, over the Xfire service. Conveniently called Xstatics, the program plans to deliver up-to-date monthly statistics on games played and length of online time to gamers, to analysts and journalists.

Xstatics will be tracking actual gameplay statistics for more than 800 PC games, including MMO games (and a PS3 game, too). Statistics are broken down into their respective categories:

Top 20 Overall
Massively Multiplayer Online Games
First Person Shooters
Strategy Games
Other Titles
Bonus Stat

Bonus Stat plays an extra role in game rating comparison, by introducing other angles to view the ratings, including how much time spent per person played per game, and a more global look at how games are played. Xfire gamers come from 100 countries all over the world, thereby properly representing 6.5 million gamers using their service. The statistics reflect on the Xfire community's dynamic activities and doesn't focus on just the well known MMO games. It shows every game played by every player.

Frederic Descamps, senior director for marketing at Xfire said, "The beauty about these statistics is three-fold. First, these stats cover nearly the entire universe of PC online games being played. Second, the stats are highly accurate because the sample size of 6.5 million gamers is so large. Third, they show how vibrant and active the Xfire gaming community is!"

For the latest top 20 games rated, Blizzard's World of Warcraft is crowned life-dominating king, but here's a little keeper: it isn't the most addicting out there: CCR Inc.'s RF Online gets the hooked players as they stay online the longest every day!
