Looking at it, it does look like the 360's top 10 is overrun with shooters but really, it just looks like Halo, Call of Duty, and Gears sell so well on the 360 that there's not much room for anything else. I mean, look at Assassin's Creed. Both Assassin's Creed 1 (4.99 million) and 2 (4.63 million) outsold the PS3 version. The reason it didn't make the list is because so many other series sold better. So, in reality, more 360 owners liked the sandbox series than PS3 owners. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that every game (except FF13) in those lists that was available on the 360 did better on the 360. 360 fans are a diverse bunch, too. We don't just buy shooters. We just want good games, the same as PS3 gamers. (Of course, I'm a PS3 gamer, too!) |
Haha, it's ok, I understand.
There are plenty of diverse gamers on the XBOX 360, just sadly not enough to stop shooters completely dominating. It isn't so much the XBOX 360 vs PS3 sales of one game, there are too many factors that effect that such as people's preference to buy multiplats on the XBOX 360 and the install base at the time of the games release. The problem is, as you said, "there's not much room for anything else" in the top 10.
Don't look at it as if I'm saying "there aren't enough diverse gamers on the XBOX 360", I'm saying "there are too many shooter fans on the XBOX 360".
