The Top 7... Gaming headlines that defined 2012 | GamesRadar

I think Kickstarters are by far the most significant news and headlines that have shaken the industry, and provided those promised games and projects deliver, it could shape an entirely new direction for the industry.

That, and I honestly am still on the fence that the Wii U can be considered next gen. Slice it however you want, but aside from that tablet controller, (WHICH is yet to be seen if it can truly reach the potential and innovation it promises, far more promising was the motion control of the wii... and look how that worked.) there isn't really that much next gen in that machine more so than just catching up to the existing machines. HD graphics, Working online with no friend codes? sure, that's great for people that only owned a wii, but for anyone with a 360 or a PS3, that's 7-8 year old news... We'll see though, i guess.

Also, no matter where you sit on the whole ME3 Ending thing, it was still very damn big news, and it was unprecedent, so I definitely vote that as a runner up.
