Really though its not a bad thing that the system is an FPS machine. Look at Bioshock, i'd almost say it has more hype than Halo 3 and could definitely push sales of the console. But be real though, its a western system supported almost entirely of western developers. It's going to have a heavy lean towards FPS no matter how many Blue Dragons hit the shelves. BD wont be a system seller in America either, no matter how awesome it most likely is. Not only do you have to take the market in to consideration but also the demographic of the type of people who got the 360 - sports games and FPS are what they want.
And what does the Wii lack right now? A really GOOD multiplayer FPS. Be happy that 360 is standing by with the goods... dont try to turn it in to something its not. It will never be a family system or something for the casual, it's the hardcore platform for FPS and other shooters. Maybe by this time next year or a year after it'll have the genre-o-matic surplus like PS2 but right now its not there. Even the highly original Viva Pinata failed to grab people's attention which is sad... it again told developers dont try anything new, pump out another roster and more effects in the explosions... it would have done hundreds of times better on Wii.
