fps is winning the game

[Schorpie]

i'm not doing any market research and i don't have any quality-stats,

but i want to show some of the better information aviable on the internet.

that's why i posted the xfire numbers.

If you want to give some decent arguments why xfire numbers aren't worth anything, you should include following subjects:

- it does not include xbox/ps/nintendo

(result: most platform games (fe rayman) and exclusives (fe zelda, gears of war, mario) aren't included.)

(result: multiplatformgames (fe call of duty2) aren't as popular as they should be)

- it's a program used by online gamers, although it also records single player gaming

(result: single player games aren't that popular as they should be. (fe oblivion, the sims, total war)

- it's mainly used for FPS games

(result: FPS games are to popular)

I'm not bothering to go into discussion why the xfire numbers are at some part representive, so

to stay ontopic, here is another nice graph:

http://www.google.com/trends?q=FPS%2C+RTS%2C+RPG%2C+MMORPG&ctab=1&geo=all&date=all

let me say at the first place:

this graph doesn't represent the reality and propably shouldn't have been posted here because it isn't 100% correct.

But maybe less critical people can take a look at it.

note: RPG is overrated in the graph because of the popularity of online RPG games.

easy&relax = easy appeal

TV = easy&relax

sex = easy&relax

sleeping in the morning = easy&relax

...

I was less rush-oriented in RTS, and when it came to shooters I was into... realist strategy-oriented Rainbow Six.
