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. |
Did Xbox fans get demonized for it? Maybe but I only saw it as an insult in lack of diversity in genres. Shooters aren't bad but when most of the top 10 list is dominated then one has a lack of diversity in top selling genres. Let us see the list.
Kinect Adventures - not shooter
GTAV - I'll say not shooter on this one even though it is getting damn close to one
Halo 3 - shooter
Skyrim - not shooter
Minecraft - not shooter
CoD Black Ops - shooter
Halo: Reach - shooter
Halo 4 - shooter
CoD MW2- shooter
Gears of War - shooter
I'm counting 6/10 in top 10 as shooter.
Face the facts Microsoft will always be known as the dude bro console and they even marketed themselves as that in the era. Remember?
and hell that was with the Xbox One so they embraced that culture quite well.
