So clearly then you have evidence that the genre as a whole sells less than it did 10 years ago since you're claiming that it has? Go ahead present the sales data from 2006 and 2016 then that clearly shows this. You don't actually have that evidence though, do you?

So you don't want to provide a source for your apparently baseless claims? Well from what I can find, there is no evidence that he did include MGS and Uncharted as a part of the Shooter category in that chart, and it's far more likely that you made that shit up because you're ethically bankrupt, just like you've made up other such nonsense in this thread. So put up or shut up. You're making the claim, it's on you to back it up.

Gears of War, Mass Effect, Halo, Call of Duty showing signifiant decline speak for itself.

As for providing a source showing he included MGS and Uncharted into his datas, I won't because I don't want you to harass that poor guy. That said, these datas are still meaningless since they are US only.

It's adorable about how arrogant and proud you are at your blatant lack of reasoning skills. If only those were literally the only games in the "shooter" genre, you might actually have a point. But, since literally hundreds of other games make up the "shooter" genre, your observation that a handful of titles have declined, and applying that to the genre as a whole is obviously and embarassingly foolish.

Yep, just as I thought. You clearly made it up. You don't think you're actually fooling anyone, do you?  I hope you don't expect anyone to treat you like you even have a shred of credibility.

Not really, every single one of those franchises had games that were received very poorly by fans, that's a much more likely explanation for their decline than the whole shooter genre being less popular than it was before.

Meanwhile, Bungie just put out a new FPS that has outsold every Halo game, save possibly Halo 3, depending on digital sales. But wait, we can ignore that because it's not a franchise yet. Makes sense.

It's amazing how easy it is to believe the "shooter genre" is on the decline when you come up with nonsensical reasons why some of the best selling games in that genre in recent years don't actually count.
