[GamerBytes editor Ryan Langley examines Decembers 2009's Xbox Live Arcade debuts and continuing successes, with charts and leaderboard data, to find out what digital XBLA titles are doing well at this year's end.]
December was a huge hit for the retail space of Xbox 360, but how has the digital side fared? In the past, December hasn’t been a time where big XBLA games have been released, but this month we’ve seen Call Of Duty Classic, Alien Breed Evolution and Trials HD expansion packs pop in, amongst several other titles.
This month we not only look at how new releases have fared, but also 2009 as a whole. We look at the Top 20 downloaded games of 2009 and see just how many people have played them this year, plus we look at just what sort of effect Christmas day has on Xbox Live Arcade.
Unfortunately, a number of the weekly XBLA charts passed on by Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb were missing for December, but nonetheless, here’s the information released for the week:
The first release for the month of December was Activision’s Call Of Duty Classic, a port of the PC original to coincide with the release of Modern Warfare 2. The game was given away in vast quantities with the Hardened Edition of MW2, so it’s a little difficult to calculate overall sales from Leaderboards. We do know it hit the second spot of the Top 10 list in its second week, but completely dropped off by the third.
