I think you need recognise a joke.

Oh I did. But it was a sarcastic joke with a stealth message.

25/62

Am I wrong? And that's not only US numbers, as you tried to paint me a cherry picker.

PS: I'm counting FPS or shooter-like games (I counted Fallout 3 yet not Mass Effect)

 

 

 What r u trying to prove? That 11/30 + 25/62 = 36 of 92 games have either muscles, 60-player online or Hollywood cinematics in them? That's just 39%, I don't think that's much.

That's just the shooter stuff, if I take into account all three parameters we reach a staggering 49/92 games, more than 50%. What I'm saying is true and you know it. A large portion of the HD install base is teenagers, especially 18-20 years old.

Thus they want muscular, huge and impressive heroes/heroines shooting / beating up stuff and then sit back and enjoy 20 hour cinematics that cost a shitload to produce. Afterwards, when they finish the game, they play their 60 player deathmatches.
