Recently, EA said twice the number of people on the xbox 360 played Dead Space as units sold. The answer to how that is possible is simple. Most Xbox users acquire their games for free using "digital distribution". Tarutaru001No. They realized the game was short, knew they could beat it in a week and it didn't have replay value and just decided to rent it instead of wasting $60.

first of all EA also mentioned PS3. Secondly ever heard about used games? you fail son try harder next time
I like how the TC fails to meantion they was talking about dead space across all platforms not just the 360. Again these topics should be locked and removed for spreading lies.
Not to meantion it had nothing to do with piracy.
Not hard to believe. I know quite alot of people who get their 360 games by those means.
Microsoft should really get on this.

oh geeeezzzz do you even know what EA actually said? it has nothing to do with illegaly downloading games. EA said that people buying used games on ps3/360 is bad like piracy. he never said half of dead space players have illegaly obained those copies but half of dead space players have bought USED copies.

Piracy is still a huge hit on sales in total.

Piracy certainly makes a dent in total sales, but I wouldn't use the adjective "huge" for it.

What? Wasn't it due to the used games market?

Oh we have a winner! Yes mythrol is right, I myself rented it [ for five days ] and beat it two times before talking it back. I think I even got all but three achievements.
Borrowing, renting, and buying the game used is the cause for majority of it, I would guess a small fraction due to pirating. :? EA even said that used games were the causes...that's what they were talking about when that was mentioned. -.-

Tarutaru001No. Dont try to make it look like all (or, as you said... most) Xbox users pirate their games, and garbage such as that. Your answer would most likely be Gamefly, Blockbuster, etc. etc.
