Anyone noticed Monday's population ?

I was playing Halo 4 on my day off, and i couldn’t help but noticed the smaller Population of each playlist throughout the day. It seemed it was unusually smaller than last week’s. It could be that the reason why it decreased was that extraction and Majestic playlist cannibalized the populations of the other playlists, but I actually thought Extraction would be higher in Population since it premiered today. I know population doesn’t have anything to do making good games, but I just thought it was alarming when I noticed.

Please use this thread to discuss population. Thanks.
