The week Black Ops was bundled, PS3 saw a hardware increase of 18% in Americas only. It did not see an increase the week on InFamous 2 or E3, don't tell me Call of Duty bundles don't matter. When the difference is 3% they do. Everything else you said just makes no sense.
Just because 360 has good shooters that sell and except for Uncharted PS3 shooters don't, doesn't mean 360 lack diversification. It just means that shooter fans prefer 360, but the games are still diverse.
What trends are you talking about? You claimed PS3 software is higher, yet you were the one ignoring the trend where 360 sells considerably more software in the holidays. 2010 360 software was stronger :P. I proved you wrong and said what I had to say, don't intend on arguing with you further.

Ps3 fans love to talk about diversity, but the truth hurts.. First Person Shooters ARE the best selling games on both consoles.. For some reason PS3 fans typically see Halo or COD selling so many copies on 360 the first thing they say is "All they have is FPS's " when in fact FPS's are the best sellers on PS3 as well.. both consoles have alot of games.. And it used to be if you had the best 3rd party support you were golden.. I think the business model is changing.. 3rd party support isnt as important as it used to be.. because back in the day if you had 3rd party support from a certain company they were loyal to you.. well they arent anymore..In fact all of Sony's loyal 3rd party companies are doing multi platform games now for Nintendo and MS .. Sony lost some exclusives too which would've been "Unheard of" in the Good Ole PS2 days....and If you're selling alot of games it really doesnt matter if it 3rd or 1st party..

Exactly, and it's not just shooters that sell better on 360. 360 exclusive RPG's sell better. Fable 2 and 3, and Mass Effect 1 all outsold PS3's best exclusvie RPG (Demon's Souls), which is now a multiplatform franchise. Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Too Human, The Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, and Tales of Vesperia sold over 500k. That's 9 strong or modest selling exclusive RPG's compared to 3 modestly well selling PS3 RPG Exclusives (Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles, and WKC).
Racing games too, although GT5 is the best selling Racing game this gen, Forza 3 is a moderatly close second, and Forza 4 will do as well or better. There are also 8 racing games on 360 selling over 500k, and only 5 for PS3.
This goes for other genres too, the only ones PS3 tops 360 in are Action Adventure and Platformer, 360 shows just as much diversification as PS3, probably more with Kinect software.
