Neilsen, a noted ratings firm, released its post-E3 figures and has found that Halo 3: ODST leads all games in what the firm calls probable purchase intent.

Received with mixed reviews, ODST garnered a whopping 53% purchase intent among gamers surveyed. Nielsen claims that anything above 30% equates to “definitely or probably interested in buying the title” and an impressive 12 games reached that mark or above. I guess we like games!

1. Halo ODST – 53%
2. God of War III – 49%
3. Wii Sports Resort – 45%
4. Guitar Hero 5 – 42%
5. Final Fantasy XIII – 37%
6. Madden 2010 – 35%
7. Guitar Hero: Van Halen – 34%
=8. Assassins Creed 2 – 32%
=8. Need for Speed: Shift – 32%
=8. Need for Speed: Nitro – 32%
=8. NCAA Football 10 – 32%
12. Beatles Rock Band – 30%

If your jaw is on the floor and you’re ready to scream at the lack of Modern Warfare 2 or Uncharted 2 on the list, fear not, for I share in your dismay, and have contacted reporting site Gamasutra for comment.
