Ha Ha yeah... no secrets here... Xbox Live continues to be game days... not actual "time"... but it still is a good average metric for those assumptions.

I guess upon re-reading you aren't capturing the amount of time played... you are capturing the amount of days people play FFXI... Oops... Posted too fast... (again)

So LiveEye is back Trapper? You can now count how much time we spend playing games on Xbox Live? How did you make it around the problems that have been laid out in the past by Squid?

That's based off the 360Voice stats, so be a ton of data backing that up...

No, that's the awesome thing - these stats are what people actually DO, not what they say they do.

Humans are not reliable reporters, and tend to have distorting perceptions.

Well, if "your stats" are from this website, then I do think the response to consoles would be skewed towards a game such as FFXI because it is an online social game. Most of the people in this website I'm sure are interested in that sort of game and would thus report I play it. For example, I don't report I play Smash Brawl for the Wii, even though I'm a fan of it. I report the MMOs I play. Then again, that's just me :).

When I think "console", I also don't think "Xbox". :)
