First person shooters is what's selling this gen and Nintendo needs to get on it.

Why would you say that? Now I'm not even going to adress your main point at all, I'm just going to demonstrate how incorrect that statement is.

That covers the first page so I'l stop there. Total shooters = 3, all from one franchise

 

By comparison

RPGs = 3

Platformers = 4

Racers = 2

 

And that's not even taking into account that the 3 shooters are all near the bottom.

 

Check your list again..It are four shooters ...Yes Halo 3 is also a shooter :). And in a few months their will be 6 shooters in the list..
