LIVE Activity for week of June 30th

[Darksaviour69]

It seems that Soul Calibur has been a big hit topping the XBLA chart and getting in to the top 10 of the most played Xbox games. With Rez HD and Ikaruga also big hits for XBLA it make you wonder, did all those Dreamcast/Sega fans move on to the Xbox? (I know I did )

Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, continues to sell well, mostly likely driven by the Street Fighter HD beta (not unlike Crackdown: Halo beta of last year)

I can understand it doing well in the arcade titles section but its a bit naughty really Soul Calibur being in the live chart considering the only thing thats 'live' is the online scorebaords as you can't do online vs battles. lol

All games are ranked, even if they have no online feature (but they have to, to get published), its based on games you are playing while you "signed on" to xbox live, you don't have to be playing the game online. That's why GTA 4 was no 1 for the first few weeks, but as people completed the game, they did not play it as much.

Really its not fair on solo games as people could be playing it off-line, while all multiplayer games online games will be traked (clearly). Still Interesting stats.
