i was on black ops on my ps3 yesterday(most of my friends have ps3s), and there was about 480-500k people on, then i went on my 360 version about an hour later and there was about 390k peopel on. why do people insist theres wayyyy more players on the 360 version? if anything they are around the same and in yesterdays case there were more on the ps3 version.

Well you see the numbers of players change over time. So maybe when he started playing it was 480k and when he finished it was 500k.

Normal range for Xbox is usually 900k-1 million. I'm not sure on PS3, as I don't play PS3. But I know that's the normal range for Xbox. It's gone down a bit recently, used to range somewhat higher.

Also it's more of a fact, not a myth. More copies sold=more players, therefore 360 does indeed have more players than PS3.

maybe. i just think if he found the amount of people online interesting enough to make a thread about it he would of just jotted down the exact number of each. just saying arounf 480 - 500k just sound like he's making it up

That was a glitch, and it was fixed in a hotfix. You can check that on the Black Ops forums hot fix page for the Xbox 360, ;). It sometimes went up to around 5.8 million, but that's ludicrous and there is no way the proportions of sales would match up to a number like that.

The total sales of Black Ops on the PS3 and 360 versions is very narrow. Last I saw only like 886,000 on PS3 and 964,000 on 360. And Need for Speed Hot Pursuit has sold way more on the PS3.

"all the educated players"? Isn't that a tad derogatory? Or is that meant to imply those who know about the expansion? Regardless, I'm sure there are "educated players" who don't even have BC2.

I highly doubt you own both copies of the game, unless you have pictures to prove it.

it was never meant to be derogative, informed is a better word, but alas. yes I do mean those that know about the pending expansion.

and to vinegar strokes, i dont remember the EXACT numbers i didnt jot it down, but the ps3 version had in the high 400ks and the 360 version had it in the high 300ks. whats with all the hostility? does it hurt to hear this?

One time anecdotal evidence does not disprove quantifiable sale figures. Assuming this is the honest truth its most likely explained by the timing of when you did this. Maybe more people play one the east cost then on the west. Maybe the PS3 has more consumers on at that time due at an age or psychographic segmentation, maybe so many things. In the end though more copies sold of Black Ops on 360..

Who cares, but you can't really compare the numbers at one point in a day and declare that version has the most individual players for that day. how do you not know 10 mins later the 360 had 360,000 completely different players on so in that stretch of time it would have had 700,000+ unique GTs on. I would suggest both games are near enough equal on each system anyway.

Most of the time that I played I have always seen way more players on X360 version than on Ps3. I don't think it's equal at all. On the PS3 i see around 250,000 to 300,000 or so on average, while on X360 I see around 800,000 to 950,000 on average. This is mostly from playing during the day.

no. ps3 version of black ops never had 285 million gamers on it. yes thats about the highest number i've seen of the xbox version. now, i usually see about 850,000 people daily. and due to who lives in my house, i also have the ps3 version. Its numbers don't come close. Still a lot more than the wii version though.

it might have something to do with US and EU timezones. i try to play when americans are asleep ( no offence just some can be very annoying). and most people who bought the xbox version will be in america where as most of the ps3 sales would come from europe. i dont doubt that there are more on xbl than psn at all COD is more suited towards xbox owners.

Did you seriously just imply that there are 285 million active users, more than 5X the entire sales base of xbox 360s, never mind actual sales of the game?

By leak time do you mean not during school times? I think the TC maybe took these readings during school times and as such about half the daily players were doing sums.

PC players playing black ops are doing it wrong imo.

Why? havnt been graced with a good PC Exclusive online shooter since TF2... there is nothing else despite elitism. its a good game, just nothing new or special. PC Shooters are dying anyway, mul;tiplayer wise, yea yea CS and TF2 ... and older battlefields..... im not one of those people that wants to play the same game for 10 years!
