Using Xbox LIVE's population statistics isn't doing Halo 4 any favors. Not to sound rude, but Halo 4's population is piss poor compared to Halo 3 when it first launched, and there were considerably less Xbox's in the household back then.

Population is already high, Hell, it's the 2nd most played XBL game!
Not really. It was demonstrated not long ago, that Halocharts is not a reliable source for data regarding population. And the myth that Halo 3 had a larger population at launch is also not true. According to the Wayback Machine, Halo 3 had very similar numbers of players compared to 4.... and Reach.
BUT, since there were less ecksbawks in households back in 07, Halo 3 then, had a larger chunk of the total Xbox population, so it was more popular. sources please for both statements.
There were threads for those things, like 2 weeks ago. I really can't be bothered to look up for them (dat failsearchbox). The Wayback Machine thing you can look it up, just look at the snapshots of bungie.net during 2007, the population numbers displayed are almost the same compared to Reach and 4). But since Halo 3 had a larger chunk, of the xbl population compared to Reach and 4, it gave the illusion of having way more players.
