Huh. I've always seen the "Shooterbox" name to mean that shooters will always sell really well on the Xbox, not that those are the only games that sell well. Did I misinterpret the slur?

You should count multiplats. Call of Duty's sell huge, and theres rainbow six, ghost recon, and more.



Why are you ignoring me? Is my math that horrible :( ?

If the 360 had 2 FPS games that both sold 10 million each, and 8 other games (driving, sim, adventure ect)

and the PS3 had 8 FPS games that sold 500k each and 2 other games ....

 

Shootbox or shootstation?



 

let's settle it, both consoles are for shooters.

they sell huge on both.... wouldnt change a thing

you've said multiple times that the multiplatform won't change a thing, or make it worse for PS3. Well isn't that what you are trying to prove anyways? I just find cutting out 50% of the market skews the results either one way or the other. Like I said, I don't care what people think of the consoles, as I'll enjoy what I play anyways.

Expand the table to the top 30 then and include multiplatform games sounds like a good solution to me.

 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

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?

 

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

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 .......

 

killzone 2 is a good game and only managed to sell 1.5 millions,so your logic fails

360 is considered a shooter console because these kind of games sells above expectations,there is nothing you can do to change this fact

ps:the 360 biggest masterpiece is a shooter,can you say the same about the ps3



Use power for the right things. At least for the things that you believe in.

ratchet is definitely a shooter.

@secce

both

 

edit: I think you mean if 8 fps on ps3 sold 2.5m each , then they would be the same (if they both had equal numbers of consoles sold that is).
