Xbox LIVE - The week that was

Who's playing what this December.

Here's an impressive statistic for you on this chilly Friday afternoon. In the week up to December 15th, all three of the Modern Warfare titles were in the top 20 games played on Xbox LIVE. Now you've got to admit that is pretty impressive work. Black Ops is in there too, and still in second place, so it's easy to identify Call of Duty as the people's multiplayer tipple of choice.

Gamereactor's Game of the year Skyrim comes in at a respectable third place.

The data presented in this chart shows how many unique users are playing a particular game, so it gives a pretty accurate indication of what people are currently playing.
