Ok maybe, I am not defending anything, I am just saying that just counting the number of games alone wouldn't show how much the install base favours a particular genre, in the fps case it just shows that sony have just been pushing a lot of shooters on it's install base, but not how much these games appeal to them.

metal gear solid 4 is not a shooter,is a stealth action game

this thread fails

How exactly does this thread fail based on one point you pointed out?

A Simulator of Pinata?

look at the other points,ratchet and clank was being considered a shooter but the op fixed

1 out of 3 360 owners has a copy of halo3,gears 1/2 sold more than 9 millions copies,wow the 360 install base really like SHOOTERS

mgs4 has to be considered "shooter" to help prove that the ps3 is a shooter console

yes this thread fails

@kowen

Let me clear my point, from your list those 3 exclusive xbox fps's have sold a combined 13.06 million copys, while the 6 ps3 fps's as you have categorized them are at 9.01 million copys.

That tells us that on average each 100 360 owners own about 43 copys of fps games, while a 100 ps3 owners own 40 fps games(not much of a difference but that's not the point).

These figures are not accurate representation because as I said before all games exclusive or not should have been included.

And finally, don't take it as if I am defending the ps3, I couldn't care less about which is the shooter console, however I am interested in which is the RPG console :).

1: If there are so many holes in the OP then there's not much to argue with.
2: Halo3 is a beast
3: Well done to Yakuza3, only in Japan yet it's reached the top 20 bravo.

First of all putting FPS next to Ratchet was the OPs mistake .. that point is null .. he corrected it.

Just because a lot of 360 owners buy shooters doesn't mean its a shooter box. You're missing the point completely. It would be a shootbox if 10/20 games on that list were shooters but they're not. Shooters just happen to sell well on the 360 because they're pretty good.

Even without MGS listed as a shooter the PS3 is still ahead in shooters.

P.S you have only been here for five minutes and you're posting useless crap such as "post fails" without contribuiting. First impressions and all that .......

@kowenicki

i saw that you fixed ratchet and clank

iam complaining about mgs4,your logic is not right,using your logic ace combat 6 and crackdown should be considered shooters as well because MOST people play through shooting on things

It's hard to stop seeing the 360 as shooter box, its shooters are its trademarks.
The ps3 shooter argument isn't that flawed though, ps3 has been acting like a wannabe shooter box, can't exactly be blamed since they sell.
