[rio2012]

Wow, what a first week! More people played Xbox Live in its first week than attended the last two Super Bowls, and have played more games in one week than in the entire history of the National Football League, National Basketball Associations, National Hockey League and Major League Baseball combined. Game players have loudly demonstrated they can't find enough hours in the day to compete in the online arena, said J Allard, general manager of Xbox at Microsoft. It's been amazing to talk to and play with and against so many players all over the United States and Canada, and this is just the beginning of the online revolution that will fundamentally change video games and digital entertainment forever.

In just one week on Xbox Live, 200,000 online game players and their friends did the following:

-Completed more than 5 million games, approximately 500 games per minute
-Played more than 1 million hours of gameplay. That's more than 114 years worth of straight gameplay in just one week.
-Played more games than have been played in the history of the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB combined.

It's ok rio2012. Thank you for sharing the news with us. However, the past couple days we have had tons of threads stating the same thing and it gets touchy with some people.

Just a reminder though, check your language at the door. I'm sure we can all get along peacefully without resorting to personal attacks and swearing. Those censor *'s aren't cheap.
