Most Played Xbox 360 Live Game: not COD4 or Halo 3, Microsoft says GTA IV

Since moving from the Xbox 360 I do not miss the hardware at all, but Xbox Live is another question, it is a much better setup than the Sony PS3’s online service and well worth the price you have to pay each year, the biggest feature I miss is the way the online chat is so flexible.

In saying that, I will also point out that going back to the Xbox 360 is not an option. Microsoft has surprised many with, the director of product management for Xbox Live and the 360, Aaron Greenberg, saying that he feels it wouldn’t be a surprise to see GTA IV take the top spot on Xbox Live for most played game. Having played Halo 3 and the amount of people online was amazing when it was first released, followed by COD4 ruling the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 for online play. Now it looks like we may see a new leader, could it get the crown for most gamers online ever for a single game?

What would you rate as the best game out of Call of Duty 4, Halo 3 and Grand Theft Auto IV?

Aaron Greenberg went on to say that the multiplayer in GTA IV “is so well implemented that I can’t imagine anyone owning a copy without trying to play it on Xbox Live“, and that this game could bring many gamers that would not normally use Live.
