OpenFeint is in a some of the top-selling apps; but I think a lot of the OpenFeint users they are counting in that 1 million are people who clicked on the OpenFeint button, had an account auto-created for them, went "what the heck is this?" And closed it, never to click again. I know that was my reaction the first few times I started up OpenFeint. I didn't actually create an account and start evaluating the features until I was looking to integrate a social framework into my app. I’ve seen OpenFeint promote the “1 million active users” thing, but I’m not sure how accurate that number actually is.
