Not every gamer in the world has XFire, so it's still not reliable. Unless they can track stats from people who dont have XFire.

Re: Three Top Ten Spots For Valve

These numbers are wrong, wrong, WRONG. There is just no way more people are playing TF2 than either of the CS games. I have no idea how they calculated this but they sure ****ed it up

Or are they somehow counting the console players too? Still, Halo 1 for Xbox doesn't have the same player numbers as CS, so they fail anyway
