Are xbox 360 gamers trigger happy action junkies?

Of course the way I worded this I agree. Bear with me for a second alright I like 360 but the games that come out for 360 are straight shooters or action games. I don't have anything against these genres but I like variety and diversity. Of course...I would be a fool to make such a bold claim w/o providing evidence so here goes. This is Major Nelson's top 20 most played xbox live:

1Modern Warfare 2

2Halo 3
3Battlefield Bad Co. 2

4FIFA 10
5Call of Duty: WaW
6Splinter Cell Conviction

9Call of Duty 4
10GTA IV(Purchase the full game for direct download)
11Left 4 Dead 2

19Splinter Cell Conviction Demo

20Game Room**

9 shooters, 3 action games. 12 out of the 20 and the rest were either racing or sports. So your thoughts?

No, since I'm assuming by "360 gamers" you mean anyone who owns a 360, which is a very diverse group of people.

Here's a hint.

Please don't generalize.

This is pretty stupid because its a list of multiplayer games. Not exactly going to be seeing a list of platformers and RPG's, are we. There are also more than 20 games on the Xbox 360. What would a PS3 top 20 look like? - Modern Warfare 2 - CoD: World at War - Uncharted 2 - CoD: Modern Warfare - Killzone 2 - Resistance 2 - etc - etcKittenWishes

/thread.

at it's finest....

seriously, you did pick an MP-based list, the probabilty grows because FPS are the pinnacle of most online play.

Statistics don't prove anything about an individual. And a lot of those games aren't even shooters...

Unless you want to shoot things, or play a sport, there isn't much to do on the 360.

Keep in mind, by shoot things, that counts for everything from halo to mass effect. Regardless of perspective or genre, it's military combat.

And racing is a sport.

The bulk of them are.

not an official list.

and that looks like it's based on the number of searches enacted through their website.

or page views.

Vgchartz cannot measure online activity of a console. Major Nelson has access to the Xbox's.

Right because Fable, Bayonetta, Dead Rising, Banjo NB, Viva Pinata and Ninja Gaiden must have been all shooters and sports games.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

The fact is shooters make up the majority of games this gen.

No, he's saying that - using your logic that every game with a gun in it is a shooter, that Crysis and Tetris could be the same genre, in that they both have blocks that can be moved one way or another; they both have music; you can approach the levels in different ways. OMG They're the same type of game!

This is only online we're talking about?

What genres would you play online?

Shooters, sports, racing, mmo, rts, fighting and maybe a co-op ****something else.

So factor out the mmo, and rts since it's a console we're talking about, and you're left with those other 3 or 4 genres.

I guarantee you the PS3 list looks just like that with games like CoD4, BC2, Socom, UC2, Killzone 2, MLB The Show, etc.

Do PS3 gamers have a Self Entitlement to stuff.

Are PC gamers elitist pricks?

are Wii gamers in desperate need of some good games?

Who knows.

9 shooters, 3 action games. 12 out of the 20 and the rest were either racing or sports. So your thoughts?

Americans...

Fable 2 is one of the best selling RPG's on the 360.. Please tell me how many hours have people logged in online?

How about Final Fantasy XIII it sold nearly 500k the first month.. How many hours have people logged in Online?

You see my point..

JRPGs, Puzzles, SIM games?

Who said anything about exclusives? Sure you can use them here for everyones petty arguments, but in the real world people play multiplats too.

It seems like you're just sit there and find trivial ways to dismiss every 360 game I mention. I honestly don't feel like arguing since you've probably already made up your mind.

[QUOTE="goblaa"]

[QUOTE="emorainbo"] Thats ridiculous, I could make it sound like tetris and crysis are the same using this logic.

emorainbo

I wasn't aware tetris had military combat in it.

Well according to Goblaa every game that has a gun in it is a shooter.

OH EM GEE

You mean to tell me that the most played games on Xbox Live, a place where people typically go to play games against other people, are games that have some form of competitive multiplayer?

And here I was wondering why when I logged onto Xbox Live while playing Final Fantasy XIII I couldn't find other people to play with. It all makes sense now! Of course shooters, sports games and racing games have the best competitive multiplayer. I guess I did the right thing by not hooking up to Xbox Live every time I play Final Fantasy XIII, Eternal Sonata, Ninja Gaiden II, Fable II, Mass Effect, Oblivion, Tales of Vesperia, and Lost Odyssey, IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE SINGLE PLAYER GAMES!

Unless you want to play with horrible motion controls and games made for elementry school kids, there isn't much to do on the wii.

Tales of Vesperia

Fable 2

Banjo

Lost Odyssey

Dead Rising

Last Remnant

Forza

Viva Pinata 1 and 2

Naruto games

Saints Row

PGR

Kameo

Halo Wars

DoA

Culdcept Saga

Chromehounds

Katamari

Not to mention unreleased games like Alan Wake, Fable 3, NWN, and multiplats.

Looks like a lot to do to me. BTW, I don't really mean what I said in that first sentence up there, I'm not that ridiculous. ;)

Yes, and we drown kittens, and club baby seals as well.

I think the numbers for the PS3 would be very much the same.
