Tiago kind of has a point here. Yes, Xbox One is getting games other than shooters, but look what genres of games are selling best on Xbox One compared to PS4. It's shooters and sports games. RPG's are selling considerably better on PS4, action-adventure is selling considerably better on PS4, etc. Last gen people called Xbox a dudebro console and I disagreed with them because alot of different genres of games were selling better on 360 than on PS3, but this gen I'm starting to think they may have a point, the two genres where Xbox One is closest to PS4 in terms of sales are shooter and sports, the two most dudebro genres. It's a real shame that MS isn't doing more to build up a more well-rounded fanbase.


I didn't know the term shooterbox referred to the sales of the shooters. I thought it was the amount of shooters that made people call it that. But if it comes to sales, 8 of the top 15 PS4 games are shooters while 6 of the top 15 Xbox One games are shooters. I'm sorry but I disagree.

No he doesn't, and neither do you. The PS4 has sold like twice as many units. What game ISN'T selling better on there than on Xbox? According to this site, Advanced Warfare, the latest series in the most popular shooter franchise out there (which is also marketed by MS), has sold like 2 million more on PS4 than Xbox. Anything that isn't selling better on there is an anomaly, not because of the games or the audiences, but because of simple mathematics. It has nothing to do with Xbox being a "shooter box."

Some disagreements are cool but complaining XB1 software sales are less than ps4 and calling XB1 shooterbox, make zero sense.

These consoles are just over 1 year old. I would wait a bit to label them something.



So guys, what's the number one thing besides Halo that you're looking forward to at E3?

Fallout 4, it's my most anticipated game that's likely to be announed at E3.

I should get into the series at least starting with 3. Heard it's one of the best games last gen. 

I honestly wish they'd do ES instead, but I understand where people are coming from wanting Fallout and it's pretty much confirmed.
