Nielsen's Most Anticipated Holiday Games
Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Halo 4, and Just Dance 4 are the three most anticipated console games by platform, according to the latest data released by Nielsen today. The only PlayStation 3 exclusive title to make Sony's list was LittleBigPlanet Karting, which came in at #10. There were no exclusive Wii titles that charted in the top 10 for Nintendo titles.
"Narrowly missing a top ten ranking was the recently released and industry-acclaimed Dishonored," Nielsen says.
"A brand new property in a sea of sequels and powerhouse franchises, it stands to reason that–apart from the avid gamers– the general gaming public may not have been as acutely aware of this title when the data was collected over the past month."
The research was conducted from September 9 to October 6, 2012 through online surveys of more than 4,800 male and female "active gamers" between the ages of 7 to 54.
