The Xbox Live community were the first to reach the stated goal of 43 million kills in the Battlefield 1943 “Coral Sea Challenge”. Congratulations, everyone!

As we mentioned a couple of days back, this means they get first access to the new Coral Sea map, as well as the “Air Superiority” gameplay mode. The soldiers on PlayStation Network, meanwhile, are languishing somewhere in the 20 million+ zone at the moment.

We can probably safely assume that the speed with which they met their goal – five days – comes from a much larger sell-through on the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 1943 over the PlayStation 3′s version.

What about all of you? Which side of the war effort did you contribute to? Personally speaking, CFD! is running on the 360 side, even if we didn’t contribute that many kills to the total – but hey! Every little bit counts, right?
