I think you should combine shooter and FPS. its like seperating racer and racing sim.



713>176

Sports>FPS

I'll never ever never ever never say this is the FPS generation :/



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Yup. Even if we add the shotter numbers is still below sports.

The sports number, once again, is misleading. It is inflated heavily by Wii Sports, which was bundled with every single console outside of japan. Also Wii fit is considered sports for whatever reason. Also, the genre is so broad compared to FPS, which is much more defined.

But these are number of different games, not sales. Wii Sports and Wii Fit are only two games.
