Microsoft has released charts for the top Xbox Live games of 2012.
Originally published by Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb, director of programming for Xbox Live, the lists are based on average unique users per day connected to the online gaming service or full versions purchased between January 1 and December 31.

Minecraft was also the most purchased Arcade game, coming in ahead of Trials Evolution, The Walking Dead, Pinball FX2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
