| HappySqurriel said: The XBox 360 has made a name for itself ... mainly that it is a system for core gamers who like to play shooter games online; being that 6 of the 9 90%+ games are shooters and 5 of those shooters have involved online gameplay it becomes easy to see why it has that reputation.

Let's even out that lopsided view of the world... First, we'll exclude all previous to 2007 games as the PS3 and Wii only had one month in that year so its not really fair going back there... In 2007 the table below shows the number of reviewed games in 70%, 80% and 90%+ categories with 5 or more reviews. As you can see 360 is ahead or tied in almost every category of ESRB rating... Obviously, not many shooters would end up in the E, E10+, and T territory so you would expect the 360 to be behind if it is only a FPS box.
