The 360 is less a shooter box then it is the role playing box. Let us return to the numbers, and I will show you a quantifiable difference that exists between the platforms. PS3 role playing titles 12, 2.5% of library, total sales 3.78mil, 3% of title sales. X360 role playing titles 23, 3.7% of library, total sales 17.44mil, 7.5% of title sales. The 360 has almost twice the number of titles, has sold four and a half times the number of copies. The genre accounts for more then twice what it does on the PS3. This is a significant statistical difference. One that may be worthy of a title of acknowledgment. The reason that the shooter box label is still making the circuit is for no reason other then it being used as a slur. The members that use it think it is derogatory. They will never refer to the 360 as the role playing box, because that is not a slur to them. In fact it is a positive statement. So they will continue you to use a very negative statement that is not even half as true as the positive one. This debate is inspiring me to go create a label for the PS3 supported by this very statistical data. Maybe we can go the PS3 the fishing box, or maybe the bowling box. We simply must create a new insult. |
Uhm, you're addressing the wrong person, here :) I didn't defend any title, I merely pointed out bad statistics and a flawed argument. I even suggested the right question anybody can ask to kill the trite stereotype of the "shooter box", and the reasonable answer.
But do go on: in prestidigitation it's called "misdirection", it's funny and it's half of the show :)
