No offense, but of all the games you've listed in the OP, I'm interested in Gears of War 3 and the 3DS (though Mortal Kombat may get a buy from me, just for nostalgia). How does Pokemon Black/White not make the 2011 list? I'm offended!
This year I've bought Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, Red Dead Redemption, and Pokemon SoulSilver.
Still left for me this year: Halo: Reach, Fable III, CoD Black Ops, Fallout: New Vegas, AC: Brotherhood, DQ IX, and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.
Right now, it's no contest for me, 2010 > 2011, but that appears to be just because I'm interested in more third party stuff than you are.
EDIT: Dead Space 2, MGS Rising, and Rage all look nice too.
themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
