There is a major issue with these stats: they are lumping FPS and TPS together, and of course they are US sales only...

FPS will take up majority of sales, so the trend will generally rely on FPS doing well. I mean TPS might do better in some years then others but the trend is generally the same. Take Halo and Gears of War. Gears dropped harder then Halo.

It is official US sales unlike VGC though. JP also has a stronger FPS presence then before by far. It used to be nonexistent and now Splatoon and other FPS are topping the charts sometimes. Europe likely has similar trends, but I am too lazy to bring up charts for those...

FPS taking up the majority of shooter sales does not mean FPS is increasing. The 1 or 2% increase may very well be attributed to TPS.

But anyway this thread is not about US sales, but WW sales. I may do a graph comparison of the major TPS franchises eventually.
