30% of Call of Duty 4 players never touched the single-player element of the game, according to Infinity Ward.
The stat is mentioned in a feature on Achievement development at Gamasutra, where Infinity Ward talks about how it uses Achievement data to track how people play its games.
While the data isn't comprehensive - only players with an Xbox Live connection are monitored, leaving offline gamers uncounted - that still leaves ten million CoD 4 players for Infinity Ward to keep tabs on.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling posted up some other stats from the game a while back, revealing among other things that only 2.8% of players have completed the game on veteran difficulty. That's still some 280,000-odd people, though, so don't go thinking you're too special.

Is Sony trying to start a hissy catfight? Well whatever their intent may be, it seems that there won't be anything that'll keep Nintendo's eyebrows from being raised after yet another controversial PR statement from sony, right before the release of their DSi in the US.
Here is what they said:
If Nintendo is really committed to reaching a broader, more diverse audience of gamers beyond the "kids" market that they've always engaged, there isn't much new with the DSi to support that. Significant gamer demographic groups are being ignored, and there continues to be limited opportunities for games from external publishers to do well on the DSi. Compare that with the PSP platform, where we have many blockbuster franchises from our publishing partners launching this year, representing a wide variety of genres and targeting diverse demographics. Games such as Rock Band Unplugged from MTV games, Assassin's Creed from Ubisoft, Dissidia Final Fantasy from Square Enix, and Hannah Montana from Disney demonstrate the commitment that publishers have to the PSP. From our own first-party studios, we're launching unique versions of Littlebig planet and MotorStorm, and we're also planning a steady stream of downloadable games -- both new titles and PSone classics -- to add to the content that PSP owners can already purchase wirelessly through Playstation Store
It will be interesting to see how Nintendo will respond to this as it seems sony are just scared and want to create some uneeded trouble.

Nintendo's Reggie Fils Aime has said that total sales of DS currently stand at around 100 million, while the total global sales of the PS2 to date are at 110 million.He didnt state that the DS would overtake the PS2 this year, he said that they are certainly on aim to break the record.
quote:
Wired.com: How many units would that be?
Fils-Aime: The last numbers I've seen are somewhere around, from a current DS perspective, we've sold 100 million units.
Wired.com: I'm sorry, I mean, what's the finish line? When will DS be the best-selling console ever?
Fils-Aime: The best that's ever been done so far is (PlayStation 2), and I believe the global install on that is somewhere around 110 million units.
Wired.com: Oh, so this is something you could accomplish this year.
Fils-Aime: You know, now you're speculating. We haven't announced what our fiscal 2010 targets will be. We're certainly on a pace to break through the previous high water mark of PlayStation 2. Let me give you a quick factoid. Here in the U.S., based on NPD data, after 52 months in the marketplace, so this is through February of 2009, comparing to the first 52 months of the PS2 launch, we are ahead of PS2 here in the U.S.

2 weeks ago theconsolebattle.com posted an article titled 'Halo 3 ODST coming to PS3" which emidiatly threw gamers into a frenzy of anger and stupidness.
Even though Playstation fanboys are always going on about how much they hate the Halo franchise and how they think its the worst game ever, then why would they all become so interested when anarticle how Halo 3 ODST is coming to the PS3 (obviously fake) create such a frenzy and fight between fanboys. There was over 300 comments on the N4G post alone which consisted of mad gamers at each others throats. read the article here
Playstation owners just need to admit that the Halo franchise is one of the best series of games ever created and that they would like for the game to come to their system.
Too bad it will never happen as Microsoft wouldnt allow it and 360 fanboys would go crazy.
