The Elder Scrolls Skyrim is almost certainly not the most anticipated game of 2011 in the general gaming community. In fact, given that 2011 is a rather busy year for high profile games... its probably not even one of the top 5 most anticipated games. Games that are probably higher on that list are: Portal 2, Mass Effect 3, Diablo 3, Crysis 2 (a whole lot of console gamers can't wait to get their hands on it), Gears of War 3, and DragonAge 2.
I love The Elder Scolls... but like it or not, the series is not among the most popular in the gaming world. Not to say Skyrim won't do very well, but it just can't compete head on with most of the big names in the industry. If I had to say, Mass Effect 3 is probably the most anticipated game of 2011 hands down. I would say Diablo 3, given the length of time between Diablo games, but there just is not a lot of noise around it.
