Okay, so 17% of Xbox 360 games are shooting games. Now, what percentage of "good" Xbox 360 games (80%+ in www.gamerankings.com ) are shooting games? Perhaps a lot of the "bad" games, which happened to contain a small amount of shooting games, diluted the percentage. By the way, 25%+ of sports games just shifted the "too many shooting games" flaw to "too many sports games" flaw. I hate sports games. After a few years, they just clutter all video game stores, and pawn shops, and make finding the "good" games really hard. I would try to confirm if more of the "good" Xbox 360 games contain more shooting games, but I don't know how to filter out those Xbox Live Arcade games.

 That was my thought when I read this actually....

Honestly I think legend11 is correct in saying all consoles do seem to have certain genres thar are a significant portion of the library.  In a lot of ways I would hesitate to call this a flaw or error for the console and more of a defining feature.  Why shouldn't the 360 have a larger number of shooters if that is what the people who purchase it want?  Its not as if it is anywhere near all or even half shooters.

But anyways, I wanted to make a suggestion to one of you out there who is good with the software info.  I would love to see a new thread with the breakdown for each console by genre and what % each genres makes up of the library.  Then what % of each genre is when only games with above average reviews of 80+ are considered.
