Xbox Live sets record thanks to Modern Warfare 2

Xbox Live sets record thanks to Modern Warfare 2
According to Major Nelson, Xbox Live hit a record last week, with 2 million concurrent users on at one time, thanks mainly to the blockbuster that is Modern Warfare 2.

Says Major Nelson's Tweet: "We just hit a new #XboxLIVE record: Over TWO MILLION people connected to the service at once."



The previous record was slightly over 1.5 million, when the New Xbox Expierience (NXE) dashboard update was released last year.

Modern Warfare 2 is said to have shattered launch records for games, selling 4.7 million copies in the UK and the US in just its first day of release, netting $310 million.

    No wonder no one was on Halo last night :D. I won't get this game for a while though, I would be playing it too much if it did. It would distract me from more important things I got to do like studying for college exams, these games are way too addicting once you play it.

    Where are those morons who claim piracy hurts developers and how modders are ruining everything? This is proof that if you put out a good game, or give a mediocre game HUGE hype that it will sell.
