Halo 4 beats Black Ops 2 in 'most anticipated' list - Nielson

4.5
Could Call of Duty's dominance of the FPS market be waning? Possibly, according to a recent survey which names Halo 4 as 2012's most highly anticipated game on Xbox 360 above the mighty Black Ops 2.

The results of the Nielson survey says that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is the most anticipated game on PS3, but not on Microsoft's console, on which Halo 4 takes the top spot forcing Activision's FPS powerhouse to settle for second.
From there on it's the usual suspects on both platforms; Assassin's Creed 3, Madden NFL 13, Darksiders 2 and Resident Evil 6 fill the upper slots as you would expect.

Nielsen collated the results from the survey answers of 4,823 male and female "active gamers" between the ages 7 to 54 collected throughout the month of June - to tie in with game announcement at E3.

5000 people is hardly the most all-encompassing figure, but enough to get a general lay of the land.

Wii gamers voted Just Dance 4 as their most anticipated, but they don't exactly have much to choose from.

-_-Nate-_- That's good to see, maybe there are some more people learning that CoD is not the only game that is available...


Agreed People also need to know that CoD sucks and only uses pretty much the same stuff from their old games and from other games

This surprises me, I thought CoD would dominate the market for a couple more years...

Halo is a better FPS than COD. Halo 3 dominated the market, Reach didn't, but Reach kinda sucks. To this day, there are still more Halo 3 players than COD 4 players, and COD 4 came out after Halo 3. Halo 4 should obviously beat out COD: BO2 in Xbox sales. COD9 is basically just COD 4.5, since they're all the same thing after COD 4.

Good halo should have been the dominating the market instead of cod. Cod is overrated and all the little kiddies parents buy them the game and it sucks.
As you can tell I'm a halo franchise fan

VEVO Lol. They actually let 7 year olds put in their opinion on an FPS that they shouldn't even be playing? And I don't see how under 5000 people is an actual feasible figure to state it's the most anticipated game. They need to do some sort of online poll or something.

Its ok... COD will still make money if thats what your freaking out about


Just because it's 2nd out of 5000 people doesn't mean much. I actually enjoy seeing Cod at a place besides 1st.i'm not much of a Halo Fan, but i actually find it amusing seeing Cod not winning. I mean they spend all that $$ on advertising the game for 2nd place...lol.
I went to see The Dark Knight Rises yesterday and Black Ops 2 had a Preview. I Mean come on, you will be a best seller anyway, you don't need to advertise in Movies now!

Trust me your gonna be disappointed when BO2 comes out, That's how it's been with the past few CoDs.
