Most Popular Xbox Games of 2008 Revealed
With 2008 wrapped up, Microsoft has provided lists of the past year’s most popular Xbox 360, Xbox Live Arcade and original Xbox games. As Major Nelson points out, the original Xbox and Xbox 360 lists were compiled by calculating the amount of online Xbox Live users playing each game; the Xbox Live Arcade list was based off sales of the game’s download.
Quite unsurprisingly, the most popular Xbox 360 games are Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, GTA IV and Gears of War 2 – in that order. Halo 2 and Fable mark the most popular Xbox games list. Hit the jump for the lists.
