Close competition between Halo and MW2
Gamasutra reveals that Halo 3: ODST as of now is the most anticipated Xbox 360 game. This is followed very closely by Modern Warfare 2. If we closely cross check the data, it is learned that ODST is in fact the game with the highest “intent to purchase.” Modern Warfare 2 has the highest pre-order intent according to the research report.
It is not a surprise that Halo is a monster franchise, a franchise that is very co-op friendly. Despite 4 of the Halo games i.e. 1,2, 3 and Halo Wars gamers have an insatiable appetite to kick.
It is reflected that for somewhat more dedicated audience the figure represents the proportion of planned purchasers who say they will put advance money down.
If Infinitiy Ward adds a true 4 player co-op mode then gamers will be putting money down as well.
After Halo 3: ODST and MW2 there is in the race Madden NFL ’10 with 15% expressing intent on purchasing if compared with close to 25% of Microsoft gamers planning an ODST or MW2 purchase.
