Its not just the top 10, about 80% of retail sales on PS4/XB1 are shooter/sports/action. Of course there are people who like other genres on those consoles but for the most part they are pretty niche.

Wait, really? You got a source for that?

Based on sales on this site in the game database so not official and not 100% accurate but it should be relatively correct. These numbers are rounded.

PS4 software-226m, XB1 software-121m, Total-350m

Action, PS4-75 million, XB1-30m, Total-105m

Shooter, PS4-60 million, XB1-45m, Total-105m

Sports, PS4-40 million, XB1-20m, Total-60m

3 genre total, PS4-175m, XB1-95m, Total-270m

That adds up to about 77% of all retail sales coming from these three genres.
