Not a lot of people on this board - bad sales?

I'm thinking of getting this for christmas. But if the online community base is small, then I don't see much of a future.

i find matches online within 30 seconds so i don't see a dead community, maybe on this gamespot forum but not in general.

and this game is an absolute joy to play with friends, one of the best no doubt.

Nah, it's just that the specific game boards are pretty dead since GameSpot severed ties with GameFAQ's
