LEMMINGS, the 360 is mainly a shooter's console (please read before you bash)

Lately I've been seeing lemmings say that it is laughable or that you are a fanboy if you think the 360 is a mainly a shooter's console which, IMO, I think it is. And all I can ask you is what's so laughable or fanboyish about it? I do agree with you that the 360 has SOME diversity, but seriously look what sells the most and what gets the most hype from the majority/core 360 owners. I'll give ya a little hint: Gears of War, Call of Duty 2 and 3, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas, F.E.A.R., Prey, Far Cry, Graw, Perfect Dark Zero, and just recently Lost Planet, Crackdown, and most likely soon to be Halo 3, Bioshock, Haze, Unreal Tournament 2007, Graw 2, The Darkness, and Shadowrun while plenty of good games that are not shooters get left in the dust like Viva Pinata and Kameo. You can even look at XBOX Live and see that the majority of games being played on it are shooters.

Now I'm not saying every every game that is not a shooter doesn't sell well because a few examples of where they do are DOA 4, Dead Rising, Saints Row, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and whatever sports and racing games you want to throw into the mix, but 360 owners clearly need to support other genres more if they really want a huge variety of games to come to their console instead of just more and more shooters. And by this, you can clearly see why the 360 has a shooter image and is called a shooter console. 

To be honest, I am personally more hyped for Trusty Bell, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Banjo Kazooie Threeie, Fable 2, and Assassin's Creed than any of the shooters I named above. And don't bring up about how this could also apply for Nintendo since only kiddy games sell on their console, because the ACTUAL kiddy games yall talk about such as Barnyard, The Ant Bully, and Happy Feet aren't selling well on the wii. It's the games that lemmings and cows like to call kiddy, even though they aren't, such as Zelda, Trauma Center, Sonic and the Secret Rings that are selling. Of course there are a few exceptions to this. I'm sorry it was long cause I know yall don't like to read that much.

I like shooters....:|

And no I didn't read that massive wall of text.

So 360 has many rpgs and its mainly a ripg's console
So 360 has many racing games and its mainly a racing games console
Please currently 360 has the largest and most diverese library. PS3 will eventually catch it but the Wii never will.

Crackdown is a shooter?!?!  I just kick people around and throw objects at them.Guyzea

Yeah right now xbox has lots of amazing shooting out and the fan base manly loves shooters.

But 360 has more RPG's and racing game announced then then wii and ps3 combined.

I based the games that I mentioned on the genre that Gamespot gave them. You can look it up for yourself. Every shooter I named, Gamespot said was a shooter in some form or fashion whether it was a sci-fi shooter, modern tactical shooter, or historic shooter.

And I'm really not trying to bash the 360. I was just pointing out that lemmings are wrong when they say that the 360 doesn't have a shooter image or that it is a shooter console. To put it bluntly, shooters on the 360 have a much easier time selling and usually sell more than any other genre on the platform. Again there is nothing wrong with that, but if you want a huge variety of games, you have to support the diversity.

What's wrong with shooters? FPS genre/Action Adventure genre>>>>>>>>> all other genres >>>>>>> dog ****>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>jrpg'siceberg_shorty

The ones bolded are not shooters. Just because there's a gun involved doesnt neccessary make it a shooter. Other than PDZ, Gears and Lost Planet u can find the otehr games on PS3 and PC. The problem is mainly graphics. What games have the most graphical improvements.....shooters. This isnt only on 360, this counts on every system. Look at it PC, all lots of shooters. I'll remember Doom before thinking bout World of the Warcaft. PS3 : Resistance, and aint the most antcipated game for it is MGS4....which is mainly a shooter.

Lets see what the biggest selling games are on consoles. Shooters, sports games, and racers.
