Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision) - 403 minutes per week (0.163% of gamers) 3. Halo: Combat Evolved (Microsoft) - 295 minutes per week (0.092% of gamers) 4. The Sims (Electronic Arts) - 213 minutes per week (0.09% of gamers) 5. The Sims 2 (Electronic Arts) - 291 minutes per week (0.086% of gamers) 6. RuneScape (Jagex) - 451 minutes per week (0.084% of gamers) 7. Diablo II (Blizzard) - 313 minutes per week (0.065% of gamers) 8. Team Fortress 2 (Valve) - 371 minutes per week (0.063% of gamers) 9. Counter-Strike (Valve) - 282 minutes per week (0.062% of gamers) 10. Counter-Strike: Source (Valve) - 426 minutes per week (0.061% of gamers) |

Oh yes, Nielsens. Because a one-week diary system by a semi-self-selected pool of people is a great way to judge this stuff.

Well when we're talking about played time rather than downloads or sales then any metric is likely to be self selecting. I know it's no more scientific than X-fire stats or whatever, I was just amused at the breakdown.

Nielsen, the slayer of quality TV rears its ugly head and gets games into its sight?
Oh dear, or better yet, fuck off and die.

I am so glad I never got into writing that kind of stuff. Though I should've taken a chance to make some of my quotes GIANT in my articles to make them seem super real and important.

You can tell the results are bogus because of the Valve game relative rankings: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/(Click on View Steam players per game) |

I honestly don't think you could do it. You might get a paragraph or two of copy out before you went off to stab someone. You know, like anyone else who would have some sense of decency. I don't have any decency and am considering an article reviewing 2008. Should be ready by June. Charts might add a couple weeks. |

The steam stats are fun just to see shit like: 0 1 Onimusha 3
0 1 Hitman: Codename 47
0 1 Spore: Creepy and Cute Parts
0 1 Earth 2160 Meanwhile, there are 6 players on Steam playing the latest version of Elf Bowling. Yes, that Elf Bowling that got e-mailed to you back in 2001. |
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.
