so if the ps3 has so much "variety" where are non-shooter games like eye of judgement, ratchet and clank, heavenly sword(10 last month), lair, folklore etc.. not on the top ten sales charts?

the truth is the ps3 is just like the 360 in terms of non-shooters, if you look at games like eternal sonata, blue dragon, AC6 they all dint make the top ten either

so please stop with the hole "360 only buy shooters" and lets change it to "America only buys shooters"

edit: sorry let me make myself a little clearer, the perception is that the ps3 has more variety, and that people who own a ps3 buy games that are non-shooters.

if that perception is true shouldn't games like folklore, ratchet and clank, eye of the judgement be near the top of the list when they come out?

they aren't, and comments like "exclusive non shooter games to 360 will come to the ps3 because ps3 owners like non-shooters" are false IMO.

Just trying to point out a misconception

now of course i am not saying that either of the systems don't have variety i am just saying that neither of the systems show that variety in sales.

Yes, neither systems provide adequate variety.

But you're just making another myth.

Just because a game does not top the sales charts does not mean it does not exist. I am not following your logic here.

They give a lot of variety, but the average American and the reviewers prefer a shooter.

Lemmings only buy shooters, which is why Guitar Hero 3 didn't sell on the 360.

As true as this is, i seriously hope lemmings also learn that just because one or two titles exist, it does not mean that the system actually provides enough variety and options in that genre.

Yeah, I went to GameStop the day it came out. THey had hundreds of them. They even tried giving them away. I tried it, but when I found out the big black thing wasn't a gun, I told them to keep it.

I don't know how many games you play a year, but the only genre I am finding under-represented to any major position is JRPGs. And there in lies the beauty of owning all the consoles. The bases are all covered.
