Minecraft beats Black Ops on Xbox Live's most played list

4.5
Call of Duty: Black Ops has been forced to take a no doubt temporary back step on the list of most played Xbox Live games thanks to Minecraft.

CoD games usually consistently dominate the top two spots of Xbox Live's most popular games. But while Modern Warfare 3 still has a firm hold of the top spot, the second-place seat has been stolen by Mojang and their cult-turned-popular crafting hit.
The Xbox 360 Edition sold over a million copies in less than a week on sale, breaking all previous Xbox LIVE Arcade digital sales records in the process.

Here's the list of Live's most played games for the week of May 14:

1)Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

2)Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition

3)Call of Duty: Black Ops

4)FIFA 12

5)Battlefield 3

6)Halo: Reach

7)Modern Warfare 2

8)NBA 2K12

9)Skyrim

10)Gears of War 3

11)GTA IV

12)Forza Motorsport 4

13)Max Payne 3

14)Trials Evolution

15)Mass Effect 3

16)NHL12

17)Madden NFL 12

18)Halo 3

19)Red Dead Redemption

20)Saints Row: The Third

Uhm, I don't see why this is such a big surprise ? Minecraft is a new, popular, fun and addicting game, it basically deserved the spot above Black Ops. Now don't get me wrong, I love Black Ops, I play it with my friends literally just about every night. But let's face it, there are newer games that people play more often, not everybody is like me and just stayed playing black ops.

Eh, well Black Ops 2 will be dominating the spots soon, no matter how much you guys whine and say it's getting old, and the future looks stupid. We all thought Modern Warfare 3 sucked, but look what spot it's taking on this list now ? Yeah, exactly.

waaaaaat
Ant lol battlefield 3 is 5th, surprised it's that low


how are you surprised? on console that game blows.


I don't even like BF3 but people run their mouths about it so much and then it's not as high and mighty as you think. I was trying to find the origin statistics for BF3 though, I'm sure more play on PC.
