Sony's shooter gambit--success or failure?

I just find it slightly ironic that last year the 306 was belittled for having nothing but shooters, but that now, with sole exception of LBP, the games you hear PS3 fans hyping up are all shooters. Resistance 2, Killzone 2, SOCOM: Confrontation, MAG, etc... My how the tables have turned.

Those are the games you're choosing to hype. Sony fans have actually been hyping LittleBigPlanet, Infamous, Valkyria Chronicles, God of War, Gran Turismo, MotorStorm: Pacific Rift, Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII as well.

Edit: I didn't even mention the hugely hyped PSN titles like Flower, Pixeljunk Eden, and Fat Princess.

 

First off, I mentioned LBP as the exception, but in my own, anecdotal experience all the rest of those games you mentioned take a backseat whenever people talk about Sony's upcoming games.  I know those other games exist, but they aren't talked about nearly as much.
