you could say the same about 2010

Halo 3 - Halo Reach
Mass Effect - Mass Effect 2
Bioshock - Bioshock 2
God of War 2 - God of War 3
Super Mario Galaxy - SMG2
Assassin's Creed - ACB
Crackdown - Crackdown 2
GT5P (in Japan): GT5
Medal of Honor: Airborne - Medal of Honor
Kane & Lynch - K&L2

Does the industry revolve around Halo, Mass Effect Bioshock and Assassin's Creed?

Uhh not really. Most games tend to have two or three year dev cycles, so years are bound to follow a pattern. Don't know how that makes the industry 'revolve' around them.

You could say the same about 2009 being similar to 2011:
Killzone 2 - KZ3
inFamous - inFamous 2
Demon's Souls - Dark Souls
Uncharted 2 - UC3
R&C: ACiT - R&C: A4O
Forza 3 - Forza 4
Halo ODST - Halo CE
Batman AA - Batman AC
Assassin's Creed 2 - ACR
Dragon Age origins - DA2
N4S Shift - Shift 2 unleashed
Modern Warfare 2 - MW2

Good point. I guess Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty are now just yearly installments.

Still, lots of "3's" next year.
