Mass Effect isn't a first person shooter though so why would you exclude that?

Well you specifically said first person shooter which is why I said that. And if you want to keep out games because they have shooter elements then you are going to be leaving out a lot of good games.

Hmmm... it just went round robin. I started out saying just "shooters". Meaning shooter elements. But I digress anyways. My point was, IMO the 360 will not sell another 10 million by the end of the year.

Like another poster mentioned, I would be very surprised myself if the 360 didn't sell another 10 million by year's end. They sold 10 million plus without alot of great games in the early going, and with everyone taking a wait and see approach with the 360/PS3.

Well, most consumers aren't seeing much with the PS3. All the desired exclusives are 360-only, shooter or not, and a price drop is in the 360's near future, not in the PS3's. Not to mention, most people that are doing the research are realizing two things: most multi-platform games are better in general on the 360 (whether it be because of graphics, online, rumble etc.) and the PS3 exclusives are either going to be on the 360 as well (VF5, MGS4 very likely) or are years away (DMC4, FFIII).

I am excluding the Wii for two reasons: generally, the people that are buying it are buying it to complement their 360/PS3 or they didn't have any intention of buying either the 360 or PS3 until a price drop or two.

Pretty much sums it up.
