Less PC gamers online this October because of Halo 3? |
Ó
Xfire, the online PC gaming companion that can track hours spent playing online, saw a noticeable drop in numbers for the month of October. Popular titles like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty 2, and Counter Strike: Source always experienced increasing figures year on year, but the total hours spent on these three dipped last month. Xfire senior director of marketing Frederic Descamps blames it on Bungie Studios' Halo 3 for the Microsoft Xbox 360 console.For a quick comparison, here are some numbers:
August 2006: 618,587
September 2006: 546,601
October 2006: 598,441
August 2007: 775,368
September 2007: 648,715
October 2007: 585,260
Descamps expects the numbers to increase now that Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Flagship Studios' Hellgate: London are in the picture. "We have seen a 10 per cent increase in daily gameplay for November as compared to October," said Descamps, giving credit to the mentioned titles.
