Forums - Microsoft - MS: 360 to remain the shooterbox (plus some dancing and Forza)

Yeah the OP is really kind of funny, for the most part the 360 has the most diverse lineup of games.  PS3 has caught up in the last year or so but really shooterbox is a nonstarter in terms of discussion.

@scat398  I blame the teenage punks who only play FPSs on LIVE all the damn time. Their to cool the play anything else, thats why Alan Wake didnt light up the charts(one of the reasons anyway)



I think ppl see the 360 as "shooterbox" is because most of the well knowed 360 games are shooters, you got average joe that probly thinks COD = 360 only then you got Gears and Halo as flagship titles of 360 which are both shooters then you have L4D which is "console exclusive" that is fairly popular on 360, these plus large portion of 360 audience are definitly shooter craze.



"We'll be looking to have lots of FPS games, ideally exclusive to us [in future]," Microsoft UK boss Neil Thompson told us.

 

Not sure he has anything in mind or in his books.



new shooter lol

I look my shooter box. But I want an end to timed exclusivity, until then I will never be a true fan. Bring me games that PS3 will never get. I'm talking to you Microsoft.



Reading the reasons of the OP's ban, it looks like instead 360 will become the dancing box (plus some shooters and Forza)!

I think it earned the shooter box rep when the most popular and highest rated games are shooters. Those games attract a significant portion of 360 owners but there are certainly more to choose from but in terms of diversity 360 doesn't stack up to the PS3 or Wii imo.


Except for the fact the shooterbox was the Xbox not Xbox 360. With Xbox you either loved shooters and/or action games or you likely didn`t care for it much but with X360 you could be a fan of any genre and find soemthign you love on it.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

Wait, isn't XB360 called shooterbox because before the slim it was so faulty that US soldiers in the desert, to play shooters, had to actually shoot at consoles themselves?  O-) 

 

 

 

Edit: BTW, before watching this old video, I thought MY aim sucked...

I sure hope for my sake it doesnt, I do hope they leave Halo alone for a while and focus on creating another mega blockbuster franchise like it
