Thanks for the break down of genres. Interesting that a full quarter of the top 100 are shooters.
I remember when Playstation 1 didn't have a single FPS shooter. I can't think of any, there might have been a couple attempts...
PS2 finally brought FPS to consoles with Timesplitters 1. That was the first console FPS I every played. Before that I only played them on PC.
And now PS3 seems to be heavily shooter based, no doubt because shooters have become the most popular genre (see: Call of Duty pre-orders).
I would like to see more RPGs myself. Thats mainly what I played on PS1.
