Now that the excitement of
E3 has died down, research firm Nielsen has readied the results of a new survey, which gauged consumer purchase intent for titles from the show. Obtained between June 7 to June 14, the results (via
Edge) concluded that Bungie's upcoming jaunt through New Mombasa,
Halo 3: ODST, had the highest purchase intent, with 53% of respondents taking interest. It was followed by
God of War 3, which received 49% in support of its comical, over-the-top violence, and Nintendo's log-splitting sim,
Wii Sports Resort, which managed 45%.
While undoubtedly big titles, we'd be lying if we said we weren't surprised by the top three. Some other titles we thought would be huge scored lower in this survey, including
Assassin's Creed 2 (32%) and
The Beatles: Rock Band (30%). Clearly, the allure of wasting extra-terrestrial lifeforms is still very strong in gamers.
What would Spock say?
