It seems that Hollywood aren’t the only ones who are blaming poor numbers on Halo 3, as Xfire are doing the same. Xfire believes that a 2% decrease in online play time in October compared to last year may be the fault of Halo 3. While 2% might not seem like a lot, given the increase of over 15% in the two traditionally slow months before, it becomes significant.

Things have picked up for November which is so far displaying a 10% increase. This is being largely attributed to Call of Duty 4. For those interested you can see the figures after the jump.
