Reduction in time spent playing PC games for October - the Halo 3 effect?

According to the latest statistics released by online community and data aggregation tool Xfire, the number of hours spent playing online PC games by its community of over 8 million players fell further in October.

"We think that the most reasonable explanation is the release of major console titles - Halo 3 came out September 25th - which shows that a lot of Xfire users are console gamers too," says Xfire's senior director of marketing, Frederic Descamps.

"However with the release of the widely anticipated titles Hellgate: London (October 31) and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (November 5), we have seen a 10 per cent increase in daily gameplay for November as compared to October." (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Counter-Strike: Source, Culture, Hellgate: London, PC, World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade)
