@darthdevide,

Well 4M FW is like 80% of the highest PS3 exclusive at the present(MGS) and will likely push over it after this weeks results pour in... Would I be wrong to say that it had the biggest FW on PS3? Surely that signals that FPS genre is in fact dominating the HD, I guess it all comes down to how much GT5 sells FW to see whether PS3 is realighning to the "shooter box" that is apparently the 360.

Top 20 PS3 games

FPs isn't the dominant.....it shows a nice variety of games.

your right in saying the FPS genre is very strong, but PS3 isnt becoming the shooter box as games continue to sell well even from other genre's as we can see in this top 20, several games are from 2010.

I guess we are ignoring that 5 games on that list are FPS and about 6 others have guns involved in a big way.

In time more FPS and shooters games will make it on that list.

Hence, the PS3 is very much a shooter box like the 360. The 360 just happens to sell more.

It's not that shooters are very dominant. It's just that Call of Duty became big and there were a lot COD games released. FPS isn't some genre that just sells big. That's just an illusion due to COD releasing so much and selling so much.
