Just seen this article over at the ever resourceful Kotaku.com. Had to post it more or less because of the constent statement that 360 is only FPS's.

83% of 360 games arent FPS's

Or, put in different numbers, only 17% of Xbox 360 games are FPSs. Annoyed by rantings of too many FPS titles (which I, myself, have been guilty of), FPS Source counted up 137 released Xbox 360 games and found that not even a quarter of titles are FPSs.

The two biggest genre hogs were Action/Action Adventure (at 26%) and Sports (also at 26%). So as far as I'm concerned, there's a new witch hunt on. Less sports games! Now if...uhh...everyone would stop buying so damn many year after year. Like any perceived imbalance in any consumer market, we need to quell demand before we can talk supply. 17% of most Xbox 360 titles are 'FPS/TPS'

It may not be just FPS people are ranting about but also just shooters in general. A lot of those Action/Action Adventure games could fall under that "shooter" catagory. My only concern with the 360 has been the lack of rpgs, but thats about to change so I have no concerns anymore.

FPS games doesn't belong on consoles anyway. Slow turning and the annoyance of sniping with a too sensitive stick .. Garbage.
