How the hell are shooters bigger than RPGs this gen?!

Next gen, RPGs will keep being the most popular with the continued rise of MMORPGs.

RPGs :(

This gen is rhythm/shooter/casual games, bah!

Sandbox games might become popular. Or, maybe not just sandbox games in general, but open world games of genres like action adventures or RPGs (FFCC: TCB and Tales of Graces have that so far). I can see that catching on.

yep

Sandbox/ Open World games sounds like a pretty safe bet. And that's fine with me since I like a lot of games in that genre. So long as I get a few good platformers and racers along side of them, I'm fine. ^_^
