The number will only go up as the digital Age continues to chug along.

Until Data Caps crush it.

Korndoggy is having a rough morning. Gotta give A+ for effort.

anyway, being a big multi player console probably has a lot to do with it.

I'd probably give him A++, if he just admitted his mistake. But I guess it's the internet. That shit doesn't fly here.

Congrats Xbox! No bring us Scalebond and double that number 😂

And the thread has officially gone to shit. smileyface

Where does that come from? I never heard of this, to be honest.

I've seen it a few times from the usuals

Just makes it obvious who doesn't own an xbox one really

Some of us admit when we are wrong.

Korndoggy is just so anti-MS it's inconceivable for him to backtrack/admit defeat. He's going down with his Titantic

update

when i put halo 5 in the xbox, it stated their was an update, and asked if i wanted it. of course i said yes, why wouldn't it. this was last year and the "update" was 91gig or thereabouts. now, as you've all made it obvious, the update isn't 100gig. so what the fuck was that downloading? i can only assume it decided, for whatever reason, to download the entire game off the net, complete with updates, instead of first installing the game and THEN updating like any sane operating system would do.

i even saw a gaf topic about it, and people said you have to deny the update when you put the game in (some even said disconnect from the net entirely) for the game to install from the disc, then you have to update afterwards.

Explaination- misinformation

The update size was never 91Gigs.

Some people had digital installations that were corrupted.

It was about a 46gig update for people who already had the game installed, but didn't have all of the updates since release.

Denying the update speeds up the installation process, because when the Xbox tries to install from the disc and install updates at the same time, it takes forever.

The only thing I give him is that subsequent updates are also often very big which can result in massive data that is downloaded over time for one game but again, this is a problem also on PS4 and games today in general.

Halo 5 is big as shit, mainly because they used Forge to fill in content gaps, and there are some massive audio files. It IS silly. About as silly as blaming THIS game for xbox's appearance on this list.

 

[Fuchsdh]

don't forget that quite a bit of Pornhub traffic happens via Xboxes as well (those are the mystery people that actually use console browsers if you ask me)

Wouldn't that traffic appear broken out on its own then? It seems like traffic isn't broken out by platform (otherwise Xbox would be higher just by virtue of being a Hulu or Netflix box for a lot of people.)

 

[Uno Venova]

This doesn't really seem that impressive or surprising considering their install base sizes in NA.

But Halo is dead so no one is even downloading these big updates cause it didn't sell. /s

 

[ElNino]

and what does the xbox do when you put the disc in for the first time and say yes to the update? it downloads the entire thing, it doesn't think to install from the disc and install the updates afterwards. it downloads and installs the entire thing. all 100 gig of it. it's BS.

No, it doesn't do that. You are wrong here.

In fact, on the latest dashboard it tells you exactly how much is coming from the disc and how much from download.

Where does that come from? I never heard of this, to be honest.

That's because it is wrong.
