I would like to see that evidence of legs, because the VGC database only shows weekly sales for Japan and no other territory. Otherwise your evidence is just as much of an assertion as my theory.

Well I at least have potential evidence that can be verified. Do you have something more than just an assumption of what gamers thought when they bought this? Heck, Halo was only out for a year, so console FPS wasn't even that big of a genre back then.

Then verify it, please. Much of those legs probably come from the official bundle or the Player's Choice reprint anyway, so it doesn't make that much of a strong point anyway.

Goldeneye was released in August 1997 in the United States and went on to sell eight million copies worldwide. So much for that.

1. How would being those make the sales be for the reason of assumption of being an FPS? That just means there was more incentive to buy the game, not that any of those made the game look like another genre.

2. "wasn't even that big of a genre", does NOT mean "there wasn't any notable FPS at all before Halo", so don't pretend you debunked my point, when you clearly misread it.

If you had written "and then came Turok, Perfect Dark, and other N64 FPS", you would have had a good counterpoint, but that still ignores that I pointed out the ads showed this wasn't like those games.
