What upcoming video game do a majority of you most want to buy coming off this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo? Microsoft's Halo ODST, blogs Nielsen, followed closely by Sony's God of War III. Nielsen originally listed New Super Mario Bros Wii as E3's biggest "online buzz" generator (a fraction more than Final Fantasy XIV) but their followup tracking survey put Halo ODST top of the heap. It seems Mario didn't even chart. (link)
