Black Ops beats Gears of War 3 for current online players

4.6
We've been following closely the online numbers which feature prominently in Gears of War 3 and it seems since launching on the 20th, Friday night had the most simultaneous online players.

The actual numbers peaked at just over 400,000 across the co-op campaign, versus modes and of course people are now playing Horde and Beast modes.

It's now the weekend, and perhaps this evening, the numbers will swell further. In comparison, as of now Call of Duty Black Ops on Xbox 360 has around 260,000 online players which is more than Gears of War 3 which sits just under 177,000. Modern Warfare 2 has just under 70,000 online players. However, considering Gears of War 3 has been out for one week and the sheer numbers of Black Ops sales it's understandable. Can Gears 3 become the most played game on Xbox Live though over the coming weeks?

Uh, no duh, when was this news to anyone? Black Ops has more players because it's CoD. It's video game tragedy too because lots of other games are more involved with their community and put a lot more effort into their game, but still make less money, and have less players. While CoD can throw a game out and expect to make a few hundred million dollars.

This is all becaue Call of Duty is a more well known franchise and anybody can play it. Gears of War 3 has a narrower audience and the fact that it doesn't come out with a yearly release has made it a little less known.

You are obviously a 9 year old kid who can't play a skillful game like gears of war. It takes skill to play it, hence why you hate it cause your shit at it.
