Onyxmeth, I was about to post the exact same thing.
Excellent post.
The PS3 offer a very similar experience to the Xbox360.
Only less popular and affordable.

Thats why I called it the "wannabe shooterbox"
I figured that pretty soon COD WAW and Gears 2 would join the top of the list and extend the number of shooters down to 6 before another genre takes the next spot. Yes I know GTAIV isn't technically a shooter by the traditional sense, but I don't see much difference between it and say Mercenaries 2 and Farcry 2 - Both considered shooters IIRC.

That's fine. However then I don't know how Uncharted and MGS4 would not meet the same criteria. There is far more shooting on average in both than in GTAIV. Considering how well Uncharted can potentially do in an official bundle, it could very well push Assassin's Creed out of the 6th spot and claim it, making the top 6 on PS3 five shooters and one racing game. We can sit and make inconsequential pissing matches all night about who is pulling slightly ahead but in the end, they are merely two consoles both full up with damn near equal potential to be "the shooterbox". If you really want to make an concise argument, why not add up every sale of every shooter from both consoles and work it against the total software sales to get a percentage? Let's see if the 360 really does sell more shooters on average, because none of the arguments you or I have presented thus far have meant jack shit.

What? Since when did MGS 4 (a stealth game) and Uncharted (a platformer[or action/adventure but that's pushing it]) become shooters.

They didn't. I'm firmly of the same opinion that you are. My point was that Squill was claiming GTA IV was a shooter, which is so off it's rediculous, so I put up that if it were then MGS4 and Uncharted were more shooter-like than it was and should be counted. My point to him was that a game featuring guns as primary weapons does not automatically make a game a shooter, and GTA IV is most definitely not a shooter.
