Last of Us is easily a shooter.

But from today on, it's not anymore.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Titanfall made it to a mil in 2 weeks? Dang, good job to that game... It's so weird, and nice to see Splatoon join those ranks.

Despite people trying to downplay it some, that is a little surprising.

That is seriously it?

On a console with an install base of around 10 million, with the new IP game releasing mid-year (not exactly a strong sales period), from a company renowned for making games that sell for a long time rather than selling a lot in the first week... it's a very solid result.

At the rate it's selling in Japan, at least, it's probably going to make it to 2 million before the holidays. It's practically guaranteed 2 million by the end of the year, and could conceivably make it to 3 million by then. It's kind of silly to be responding to this, especially given the list provided, by saying "is that all?".



Honestly, I consider Splatoon to be a platformer more than a shooter.

It's wiki says it's a third person shooter.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_(series) Then it's listed in the top 30 third person shooters of all time http://www.gameranx.com/features/id/1932/article/3rd-person-shooter-games/ . Even Steam labels it as a shooter http://store.steampowered.com/tag/en/Third-Person%20Shooter/ Maybe you should I don't know actually play the game and learn something instead of making assumptions?

on wikipedia, metacritic, it says its an action game. No where even says its an shooter

Well, according to MetaCritic "Grim Fandango Remastered", "Broken Age", "Syberia" and "Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy" are all third-person-shooters... should we really trust their judgment?

People seem to be taking the exact opposite reaction to this thread. I don't see this as some slight to Splatoon but rather that it is among a small family of games that have these results.



A warrior keeps death on the mind from the moment of their first breath to the moment of their last.



is it so hard to read the thread title of a thread you read and chose to enter?
