MS: 360 to remain the shooterbox (plus some dancing and Forza)

Where does he say it will remain the "shooterbox" and where did the original article say that?

Nowhere... so why, in YOUR view, is it a shooterbox?

.....Almost as insulting as the old PS3 has no games bullshit.

 

actually the MS guy says the exact opposite of your headline.. "And it's not just shooters, either; Thompson added that "whether people like racing, dancing, FPS, strategy... whatever they like we'll be bringing out franchises that we think they'll love".

The OP did say "shooter box (plus some dancing and Forza)".  So that's three genres already.  Lost Odyssey and Alan Wake are the 360 titles for me which aren't shooters.  But Thompson did say, "but yes, first-person shooters are a great genre of product that have served us very well and will continue to serve us well in the future."  So you cannot blame one's interpretation of  "shooter box" while also given the general perception as most people who have bought the 360 do so for high profile titles such as Halo, COD, Gears of War, etc.  Welcome to the masses, mate.  And one more thing...

 

...Shooterbox.

 

Grow up and get... over... it...

There are a lot more exclusive nonshooters than Alan Wake and Lost Odyssey, and I'm pretty sure they outnumber exclusive shooter titles on the 360. Last time I checked, shooters sold the best on the PS3 as well, so how is it any different really? That being said, I think that jab you threw in pretty much undermine a few fair points you made in your first paragraph.
