That's not the fault of the box, though. It's what was popular. It still had a really diverse library. PS3 seemed like it wanted to be a "shooter box". M.A.G., Haze, Warhawk, Killzone, Resistance. Shooters were what was hot back then. One console just became the preferred place to play them.

Or they didn't have as much diverse IPs and let 3rd party shooters run rampant.   N64 should be considered shooter box because of GoldenEye (reason why I went back to Nintendo) but it had other IPs.  Yea it was a time of days when CoD was God.

Out of curiosity, I googled the best selling games for both consoles. Both had a pretty good mix. Both had a lot of shooters. One console got demonized for it. But that's how a lot of things in this world are. I understand.
