I figured now would be as good of a time as any to debate the perception of the 360 as a "shooterbox." Peter Dille didn't exactly say that, but it's directly implied with his comments about Microsoft.
Anyway my take is that this is pretty ironic considering that the PS3 has more exclusive shooters and more shooters published by Sony than the 360 has by Microsoft.
Taking a gander at the list:
Sony:
Resistance
Resistance 2
Resistance 3
SOCOM: US Navy Seals Confrontation
SOCOM 4
Killzone 2
Killzone 3
Warhawk
MAG
Microsoft:
Halo 3
Halo 3 ODST
Halo Reach
Gears of War (also on PC)
Gears of War 2
Gears of War 3
Left 4 Dead (also on PC, published by Valve)
Left 4 Dead 2 (also on PC, published by Valve)
So that's 9 to 8 Sony or 9 to 5 Sony if you wanna discount the "console exclusives." What does everyone else think of Dille's comments? Is it coincidental that they were made the release of Halo Reach?

Its not about who has more shooters, its about 360 having a much higher percentage of shooters and relying on them for sales, whereas Sony has other genred games like Heavy Rain, Ratchet and Clank, LittleBigPlanet and more.

10 of the top 20 360 games are shooters. 11 of the top 20 ps3 games are shooters.
When PS3 has more in it's top 20 can't really criticise Microsoft in my opinion. Seems a bit silly.
