Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox360 and LIVE Statistics
Posted by XanTium | May 7 19:41 EST | News Category: (default)
 
From gamerscoreblog.com (FYI: MS owned blog):
[QUOTE]
The Gamerscore Blog would like to congratulate Rockstar on the launch of Grand Theft Auto IV. GTA sold over 6 million units, and broke the entertainment record with over $500 million in sales.

I got some data from the US team, and I'm here to share that news with you:
* Actual MS sales data from last week shows Xbox 360 console sales at retail went up 54% week-over-week as a result of GTA's success
* According to retailers more than 60% of all GTA games sold in the first week were the Xbox 360 version
* Retailers are telling us that the game is attaching strongly to new console sales, with roughly 40% of new consoles selling with a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV

Regarding Xbox LIVE:
* In the first week, more than 2.3 million people played Grand Theft Auto IV on Xbox LIVE
* GTA IV is now the number one played game on Xbox LIVE
* Over the weekend, we saw the Xbox LIVE service reach 1 million concurrent users
* Gamers have unlocked more than 12 million achievements worth over 100 million gamerscore points in GTA
* Grand Theft Auto IV set a new record for time played, with the average gamer spending more than four hours playing the game on LIVE in the first week alone

Something doesn't make sense here...

The average person only played their $60, 10/10, gotta-have game for only 4 hours in an entire week? There are 15 people on my friends list, and 11 of them are playing GTA right now... That just doesn't add up...

on xbox live. I spent all my time the first week mostly on single player.. just now getting into the live matches which are surprisingly decent and lag free so far.

got the game one day earlier than release from a friend who has a store, but was too afraid to try live and moved the day it came out. Just set my 360 up again and will finally get the chance to go online.
