Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.
Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c
So, Halo is losing out to other games just because they are on multiple platforms?
Interesting logic. It could almost be convincing if you could play multiplayer across platforms. But you can't. Halo Reach is not competing with Black Ops or MW3 on PS3, or PC.
Seriously, do the numbers of people playing a game on other platforms affect your decision to play it on a 360? Hopefully not.
You could argue in the opposite direction: since other games are multi-platform, owners of multiple systems may choose to buy a competing title on a different platform, reducing Halo's competition in the LIVE activity list. I can't imagine many people with a 360 and a good gaming PC bought Call of Duty on 360 (although some will, for reasons such as the size of their friends list).
Either way, the fact that other games are multiplatform does not grant them some sort of immutable inertia that means a platform exclusive cannot compete on its own platform.
As for the popularity of sci-fi themed content, that has nothing to do with multi-platform development whatsoever.

But that doesn't answer the question I asked. Are games that aren't #1 automatically bad because they aren't #1?Posted by: Viper Skills
Obviously not.Posted by: Darkside Eric
Damn... so we have thousands of bad games and only.. what, 3-6 good ones?
Holy insane extrapolation, Batman.
Edit: sorry, holy terrible attempt at sarcasm, Batman.
