2011: The year of gamers going broke

Following Sony's Gamecom conference, you can easily say that 2011 is stacked. 
 
Sony will bring you these exclusive titles:
Killzone 3
Resistance 3
Infamous 2
Socom 4
Motorstorm: Apocalypse 
Ratchet and Clank: All For One 
Yakuza 4
The Last Guardian (probably)
Final Fantasy Versus 13 (probably)
 
Microsoft and Nintendo usually announce their games closer to the release date. 
 
For 2011 we can expect from the both so far:
 Zelda: Skyward Sword
Gears of War 3
Codename: Kingdom (probably)
 
You still have all the motion control games for Move and Kinect , the launch of the 3DS and the downloadable games.
 
Then the Multiplatform games:
Rage
Mortal Kombat
MVC3
Portal 2 
Dragon Age 2
LA Noire
Batman Arkham City
 
I am probably missing some games but remember we thought 2010 was going to be a crazy year for gaming, 2011 looks even better.

It's true. There are so many games that are must-buys for me.  
 
Dead Space 2 in January is just the beginning of a very long year of game. CAN. NOT. WAIT!

I agree.  I know I'm interested in the following you list:
 
Resistance 3 
Infamous 2      
Zelda: Skyward Sword 
Gears of War 3      
 Rage 
Portal 2  
Batman Arkham City      
 
Plus there will inevitably be the titles I haven't heard of yet.  I'm crossing my fingers for a Borderlands 2 and for whatever Bethesda's main team has been working on since they wrapped Fallout 3.

You forgot some other games like Bulletstorm, and Crysis 2. It also seems like Epic Mickey will be coming out in 2011 too. *shit*

14 of those games mentioned in the first post are sequels. There are 19 games in that post. 
 
That's depressing.

Meh, I can finish most games nowadays in less than a week since they're so short so I usually just rent games that are not massive RPGs or have interesting competitive multiplayer aspects to it.

I guess, but it's not like this is a new trend. There were tons of sequels and spin-offs even in the 80s, when there weren't many games to sequelize.

Well I've gone to renting most of my games nowadays, given how short the single-player components have gotten. I only buy games that are massive in length (RPGs), have interesting multi-player components, or whose developers I want to support.

Oh crap, forgot about the 3DS.  And, for some reason, I never want to rent a game for a portable handheld.

I'm already broke. I guess I'm going to have to go and rob a few more old ladies again to fuel my gaming addiction.

2011 does seem especially packed, but there isn't going to be that many games I buy day one.

While sequels do make up a relatively high percentage of releases each year, I wouldn't be too depressed yet about the prospects of new IP in 2011.  With the exception of the high profile titles from heavily watched studios (such as Rage from id and LA Noire from Rockstar) it is really early for people to know about upcoming new IPs in 2011 as generally speaking money isn't really spent to promote many new IPs this far in advance of the release date.  I'm sure once we actually get into 2011, there will be some nice new IP surprises for you just as there are every year.

Only 4 games for me on that list, will be waiting for a price drop for other potential purchases. I still need to pick up a wii for Xenoblade and last story, here is hoping it'll drop in price in 2011. If Nintendo isn't porting them, then they could go suck a bag of dicks.

2011? How about 2010? I've been dishing out some major dough already this year, and we still haven't even reached the high-traffic Q4 yet. 
 
I mean, we still got:  
- Vanquish 
- Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 
- Enslaved: Odyssey to the West 
- Kirby's Epic Yarn 
- Donkey Kong Country Returns 
- Metroid: Other M 
- Disney Epic Mickey 
 ...all on their way later this year. =\

The only games I'm planning on buying next year are Human Revolution and Catherine (assuming it's released next year). 
 
The 3DS is also a possibility, though I'll wait to see the price and whether it's any good or not.
