What you fail to realize is that Halo and Halo 2 actually had a bigger impact on gaming than anything released on the Gamecube or PS2.  I highly doubt that FPS would have been as popular on the 360 and PS3 without those two games and I don't even like FPS and rarely play them.

Gran turismo 3: A spec outsold both Halo 1 and 2 ... I'm pretty sure that game had the biggest impact as far as exclusives go. 

I'm pretty sure what started the FPS craze was CALL OF DUTY which ALSO oiriginated on PC's. 

LOL, no it didn't on top of that it was one of the most bundled PS2 games so its sales numbers are misleading.  The FPS shooter craze actually started with DOOM but when we are talking about consoles it started with Halo and got even bigger with Halo 2 since the first game didn't have a online mode.  GT3 had little to no impact on what is popular on the 360 and PS3 especially since the game was completely a offline experience.
