Also, if you wanna attribute the rise of FPS to the original Xbox because of Halo 2, then you'd also have to take Goldeneye 007 on the N64 into account. Just sayin'. :P

Having a few FPS doesn't mean it was the dominant genre. 

The Xbox has also gained the reputation of the FPS console because it's a decent amount of console exclusives that were FPS and if you knew someone with an Xbox they probably had a few FPS games in their collection.  Aside from sports and racing games, which are the only two genres that have been dominant on all systems, the FPS genre has more top sellers than any other.  As expected.  Xbox is an western console, makes sense that racing, sports, and shooters would be the best sellers.

FPS' were only outdone by 3D platformers on the N64.. and even that's debatable. I'd argue that the N64 (inadvertently, mind you)  ended up just as westernized, if you will, as the OG Xbox.
