| Source: Nielsen Read as: At one week pre-release, Halo 4 on Xbox 360 performed better in overall aggregated U.S. consumer anticipation than 100 percent of all previous Xbox 360 titles at the same point in their release cycles. Data from January 1, 2012 – December 4, 2012. The overall anticipation level among gaming consumers was derived from leveraging several key consumer metrics (including Awareness, Purchase Interest and others) into one overall score. That score was then compared to scores from all previous games released on the same platform at the same point in their release cycles, to determine the percentile ranking of the upcoming title (aka the Nielsen Game Rank™). |
