@ kowen: I know, but that's a possible "view" that people may have for the "shooterbox"-thing.
Combine that with the fact that Halo and Gears are (arguably) the biggest names on the 360. No matter what huge number of titles comes out, those two will stand out most, resulting in shooterbox-references.
You won't be able to change that (as it has some basic truth in it).
It's the same with the PS3. It's easy to point to their exclusives and say they usually underperform (in reality: they sell okay, but compared to other games and expectations, they are indeed underperforming).
Nintendo has the pokémon / mario image and that will always stick, no matter how Duke Nukem-ish they might portray mario from now on.
