A new survey found that console players prefer to spend their money on popular franchises’ sequels and licensed games than on new IPs (intellectual properties).
The survey was performed by Nielsen media research group. The group surveyed 4,800 players between 7 and 54 years old to come to the conclusion that the most anticipated titles across the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii were Halo 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and Just Dance 4, respectively.
Of the 45 top anticipated titles across the three consoles (15 for each one), only two Wii games were not sequels or based on a licensed property: The Last Story, and Everyone Sing.
The full list of 2012’s most anticipated console games is available on Neilsen’s official blog.
