Am I the only one who finds all the generic shooterbox comments rather funny? 7 out of the top 10 are shooters and the PS3 also had 6 shooters in their top 10
Did nobody read the top selling PS3 games article last week? Sometimes its sad to see how much trolling/hate happens on VGC as soon as "Xbox" or "Microsoft" are mentioned.

Doesn't change the fact, that PS plattforms have (exclusive) games apart from FPS. Games that might not be in the top 10 but do well nevertheless. Why? Because Sony does it, Microsoft rather not.

I love how the first 9 were mature action-type games, then Kinect comes out of nowhere for #1.

teamsilent13 lukeperryglover (on 08 November 2015)

Because next-gen wasn't established yet and it was a better game on 360 than Xbox One tbh. I love Ghosts :)

NightDragon83 (on 08 November 2015)

Fact: For all the talk about the strength of Sony's 1st party lineup compared to M$'s, the 360 has more 1st / 2nd party exclusives in the top 10 than the PS3 does by a count of 3:1. Deal with it!

Fact #2: they still won't believe it and go the LA LA LAND in order to run away.

I think people still forget that the original Kinect is the fastest selling device in a 3 month span of all time.

Now I understand why MS was so focused on the mandatory Kinect 2.0 for die Xbox One. They though it will sell software like hot cakes.

Just more proof that I'm note a 'core' gamer as per the numbers listed in the top 10 sales per platform articles. Love me some GTA, but the hell with the rest of that.

I get the feeling like we are obsessed with shooting video games over here in the west...makes you wonder why the media likes to point the finger at video games every time there is a mass shooting...
