I was wondering if there's a way in checking
game status for XBL, like...

1) How may players are actively playing a particular game?
2) Percentage breakdown (by country) of players playing a game

Perhaps there's an online website somewhere that have such statistic?

This question came up because won't it be
great if i knew how many asians/ppl are playing
a game on XBL before spending money buying it.
