COD4 email pimps no. 1 Live spot a week late


The Call of Duty 4 versus Halo 3 drama took an interesting turn this week via an email sent out to CharlieOscarDelta.com subscribers yesterday (we got ours this morning). The email proudly proclaims "COD4:MW SOARS TO THE NUMBER ONE SPOT!!!" Obviously, the email is referring to Major Nelson's listing of the top Live games for the week of January 14, in which Call of Duty 4 managed to knock Halo 3 off the number one spot. What's funny is that the same list for the week of January 21, released two days ago, revealed that Halo 3 has once again claimed the top spot. We'd suggest that Activision put a little grease on the PR machine's gears the next time one of their games snags the number one Live spot.

[Thanks to everyone that sent this in]

I don't see how a company can boast about having the most sales when they are counting so many platforms when Halo 3 sold almost as many on a single platform.

And the number 1 live thing is rubbish. For 1 day on Live last week Undertow was Number 1.
