Why do 360 fans seem to like shooters so much ?

don't get me wrong, shooters are great. but i think its nice to have some variety. i just seems 360 fans do not feel the same way, just look at alan wake something a bit different but it just didn't sell. Where as Heavy rain on the PS3 was a great success.

its something to think about

360 is tailored more to the Western audience I suppose, which tend to like shooters. It's also probably because we have Halo.

Edit: The highest selling game on the PS3 is an FPS - MW2.

Well simple answer, they are mostly little boys who's parents buy them everything.JohnF111

Nice job you figured everyone that owns a 360 out -___-

Shooters are the best genre overall. Most fun, biggest action, most interactivity, best gameplay. It is the best genre.

Even if they are obssessed with FPS, Im pretty sure those are not the only genres they play. I have about 28 games for 360 and 7 of them are shooters.

Sephiroth stabs a praying woman in the back.

RAAM stabs a buff soldier. In the middle of a battlefield. In the open. With bullets going past.

Haha, yeah, that match was intense. Very funny also.

I love FPS. I also love fighters, TPS, RPG, action, adventure, action adventure, horror, sports, puzzle... Hell, every genre excluding racing/flying sims, and there are more than enough titles in each on the 360.

Most of the people I know who own only 360s play mostly shooters. Games like Call of Duty and Halo, the mainstream, generic crap. But there are those other mainstream games that aren't shooters they may play such as Assassin's Creed or......

And it's still not true.

Only reason I haven't got Alan Wake yet is because I have too many other games to finish first. Also, Heavy Rain was hyped a lot longer and a lot harder.tomarlyn

I got to disagree there.

Before the 360 came out, I knew about Alan Wake, it was in development a LONG, LONG time.

shooterbox topics were a joke here in 2006, in 2010 it goes beyond a joke into places you are not even allowed to call people out on without getting modded for.
