But considering sales, XB360 relies on them more than most other platforms, the top 3 XB360 sellers are shooters, and a total 7 out of the Top 10 are too, while on PS3 the current top seller and the 3rd are shooters, and a total 4 out of the top 10 are too, so they are undeniably important for PS3 too, but not as overwhelmingly as for XB360.

I'm not sure if you realize it, but the only difference between those top 3 / 10 you listed is Halo and Gears. Yes, Gears and Halo sell higher than any PS3 exclusive released, but we already knew that.
If you look down a bit further, say, the top 20, the consoles even out. The 360 doesn't have a single shooter in its top 11-20 sellers.

Yeah but he may be thrying to convey the real drivers of each console. Halo drives the console more than 11-20 combined.

I was only pointing out, to anyone that didn't realize it, that Halo and Gears makes the entire difference. "Reliant on shooters" makes it sound like there are tons more up their sleeve, but there really aren't. Call of Duty and all of the sequels help mask this fact (even though CoD is multiplatform). It'd be more accurate if Dille said,
"Microsoft Reliant on Halo and Gears!"
Which, I dunno, sounds kind of ridiculous.
