No doubt all kinds of interesting statistics are being harvested about wipeoutHD.
Things like:
The number of players that are finishing the game
The number of players using sixaxis controls
The proportion of multiplayer games at each speed class
The number of instances of splitscreen usage
Proportions of vertical vs horizontal splitscreen
The amount that each ship is being used (I think I've only seen one auricom so far)
The number of players using pilot assist
The proportion of assist users that stop using it
Assuming I'm correct in thinking this... the information would be useful for targeting development time in a lot of games, so I would be surprised if it's not being gathered... will the general public ever get to see these stats? I'd find it fascinating, personally.
