no 360 will never sell to the outside "Hardcore" market. it will sell well but the ps3 and wii will sell more. i dont see it having a greater appeal to women or children because that of course is the wii. One or 2 games will not change how people view a system. Xbox has shooters, playstation is playstation, and wii is for everyone. It will take years for microsoft to change how people view it and they know this thats why they didnt show halo at E3. Also 360s biggest game this year is gears of war 2 (another shooter) So with all these games people will still be looking at other systems for their "casual" fix. When you say the "shooter market has been tapped" i laugh because FPS has been around for ages... its not gonna stop now. This year one of the highest selling games will be a FPS or shooter (GOW2, resistance 2). And everyone knows all eyes are on Call of duty. Even if people dont buy new systems for FPS they will by the games and GOW2 and resistance 2 will sell at least 2 million in USA alone. The Shooter market is one of if not the biggest genre gaming has (besides sports)

I don't get the playstation is playstation comment. Is that because you can't find any reasons why the PS3 should do better than the 360 besides Sony coasting on their brandname? I mean you slam the 360 for it's biggest game being a shooter while the PS3 has the same thing. In fact could you give a reason why the PS3 should appeal to casuals or any particular group more than the 360?
