Probably 360, but both would be decimated comparably. The only console that could really survive relatively unscathed after losing it's shooters would be Wii.
Shooters just happen to be the biggest genre right now (well, for the last 3 or 4 years) too bad Microsoft has to rely on these 5-10 million sellers, they should be relying on stuff like Eyepet and Kinetimals. Grr, that'll show 'em.

1. Prologue 2. Resistance 3. LBP 4. Uncharted 2 Not a bad mix if you ask me. And with Motorstorm and God of War close behind. |
Isn't MGS4 they're highest selling exclusive?
Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

"shooters" is pretty broad term to be honest. Even stuff like Crackdown and Uncharted could qualify if you really want to go that far.
Halo strikes again, making Sony a little bit more right (and obvious) and a little bit envious too...

Peter Dille didn't exactly say that, but it's directly implied with his comments about Microsoft. Anyway my take is that this is pretty ironic considering that the PS3 has more exclusive shooters and more shooters published by Sony than the 360 has by Microsoft. Taking a gander at the list: Sony: So that's 9 to 8 Sony or 9 to 5 Sony if you wanna discount the "console exclusives." What does everyone else think of Dille's comments? Is it coincidental that they were made the release of Halo Reach? |
If you want to go with strictly first party FPS, funnily enough Sony has THREE active big budget FPS franchises: Socom, Resistance, and Killzone, versus only ONE for MIcrosoft ( Halo). Stop and think about that! Take that, those who call 360 a FPS box!
And yet still, none of Sony's FPS franchises have really caught on.
Also, there's the issue of Gears of War, it's not technically a FPS, still imo it basically plays like one and markets like one. Still, not technically a FPS. But if we count it, Microsoft is still behind 3-2 in first party FPS franchises. Also, I guess technically Gears is not a first party developed game...but it is first party published and exclusive.
That's actually why I've been clamoring for a while for Microsoft to develope another major, graphically impressive FPS franchise alongside Halo. 360 is called the shooter box, yet Microsoft is getting beat by Sony 3-1 or 3-2 in first party FPS.
The best bet imo would be the long rumored Perfect Dark 2. In fact I want to say I heard a credible rumor that Perfect Dark 2 will be Microsoft's tentpole exclusive for holiday 2011.
However, with the recent news from MS that Halo titles will start appearing more frequently, perhaps another Microsoft FPS franchise wont be wanted.
Why is everyone comparing shooters? You should be comparing everything but shooters
PS3
Yakuza
3D dot heroes
Disgeia
Littlebig planet
Demon souls
Folklore
Heavy Rain
God of War
Modnation racers
motorstorm
Rachet and Clank
Valkyria chronicles
1/2 Uncharted (for the platforming)
1/2 Infamous (heavy shooter elements)
total 13
360
Forza
Fable
Dead or Alive
Viva pinata
1/2 Alan Wake
1/2 dead rising
1/2 crackdown

Seems to me MS is relying alot more heavily on shooter then Sony,
