GN Version 5.0

Nielsen's data comes from a survey of more than 4,800 gamers age 7 to 54 between August and September.

"[Nintendo] has a surplus of high-profile exclusives, with a total of seven highly anticipated games on Wii U or 3DS due out in the coming months. U.S. gamers are keen to jump into Yoshi's Woolly World (91 percent) on Wii U after the publisher released the title in the U.K. earlier this year, and the combination of Animal Crossing and Amiibo is generating a great deal of excitement among many Wii U gamers for Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival (84 percent).

Nintendo's console will also see exclusive releases of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (80 percent) and a relatively rare M-rated exclusive with the new action title Devil's Third (76 percent). Gamers on the 3DS are looking forward to The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (86 percent) and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (77 percent), new titles that build on two of Nintendo's biggest franchises. The 3DS will also welcome a third-party exclusive that gamers are enthusiastic for; fighting game Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden (88 percent) from Bandai Namco."
