The NeoGaf Xbox 360 Leaderboard of Sales and Achievement Whores

So I'm bringing this back.

I don't know if you guys remember, but about a year back I stopped updating the The fully automated NeoGaf Xbox 360 Sales Thread. I was moving, my ISP was changing, and I never came back to it ever since.

Well, about a month ago I decided it was time to do this again, so I started from scratch. I did all the code from scratch in a (hopefully) better way, so I can update it more often with less trouble. The website is totally new as well, but has most of the features of the old one and some new ones as well. For those of you that don't remember, here is the old version: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9787157/joaomgcd/NeoGAFOld/GamersLeaderboard.xml

A cool new thing I like to do in this new version is grouping by columns: with this, you can group the tables by price, and see all the arcade games that cost $10, and how many people play them, for example. Or, and this is for the achievement whores out there, group by price, then sort by Achievement % Average, and find out which cheap games are the easiest to get achivements on. :D You can also group by "Top Spots" in the Gamer page, and find out in which games you are better then everyone else. These are just some examples, but IMO there are lots of cool way you can organize the tables to get interesting info.

So, the way to interact with the new version is also different from the old one. Here you write "Xbox360: MyGamertag" in a reply to this thread, and after a day or so, you will be added to the leaderboards.


To be on the list make sure your post is nothing other than "Xbox360: " followed by your gamertag.

Just to be clear, if I wanted to be on the leaderboard I would post

Xbox360: joaomgcdPT

With that said, you can reply whatever you want in this thread. I will detect what is a gamertag and what is not.

I'm not importing everyone from the old leaderboards into this one, so I can keep out people that aren't interested anymore, or people that aren't active members of NeoGAF. This way, only people that want to be on this, will be on it. I added myself and 2 other gamertags just so the leaderboards wouldn't be empty.

As always, I welcome all suggestions, so keep them coming. :) And if anything is wrong with the pages, please let me know and I will do my best to fix it.

Short version

To add yourself: write ONLY "Xbox360: " followed by your gamertag in a reply to this thread.

You can reply anything you want in this thread, I will sort out the gamertags.


For those of you whose scores aren't showing up, you have to make sure your achievements are public on Xbox.com, or else I can't get the info needed.

I used to love the old version.

It was really handy to see what GAF had been popular with smaller XBLA games etc.


Hopefully joaomgcd will improve on the site as it gets more members for some interesting GAF analysis.
Would love to see stuff like most popular achievements/games played this week etc..

It's a pity something similar can't be done with the Indie games, it would be fun to see how many Gaffers buy them.

I've just remembered the $'s spend on XBLA column uh oh.

Yeah it would be nice if Indies were able to be tracked but sadly no achievements.

There's already the "What's hot" section, where you'll see the most played games in the last week. :)

And yeah, I think you'll be scared by how much you've spent on XBLA :lol

By the way, all the XBLA prices won't appear right away. They will be $0 untill I update them with their real price.
