70 Million Halo: Reach Games Played

Bungie has done all the math, and they have provided us with the full- and probably the final- stats for their megaton, Halo: Reach. 70 million + Halo: Reach games have already been played, and 6000 human years have been spent playing Reach multiplayer.

Bungie also say:

• On Tuesday, 09/14/2010 at approximately 1:30 pm PST, just a few hours after launch, Halo: Reach’s online unique user count had already completely eclipsed Halo 3’s total tally for the entirety of the week (09/13 through 09/20).
• To account for the same number of online players found in Halo: Reach during that same window (just six days), we had to run the numbers for Halo 3 going all the way back to 8/6/2010, encompassing a full 45 days of Halo 3 play!
• Ultimately, Halo: Reach’s online population for the first week dwarfed Halo 3’s by comparison, snagging four times the number of total unique users and decimating Halo 3’s all time high of concurrent users by more than 65%.

Check out the full stats below:
