As more Years go by, it gets more stupid to do the whole "so many games in the Top 10 are FPS!" argument.

When the biggest game on the planet releases Yearly, then that said series will dominate sales lists. 5 out of those 6 games on PS3 are Call of Duty games. 5 out of the 8 on 360 are Call of Duty games.

Instead of simply doing the Top 10, it should be the Top 10 franchises.

Eh, if anything, annual releases should squeeze a franchise out of the top ten as enthusiasts are spread across multiple teleases and fatigue sets in. Like how Guitar Hero/Rock Band got milked out of existence. The fact that shooter franchises generate megahits year after year reinforces their dominance, not the opposite.

Well yeah, youre right. It should. There are games that break this rule though, due to sheer popularity. Call of Duty is one of these games.
