Well, one could use the VGchartz worldwide million-sellers list as a lazy way of doing that :)
4 of the top 5 selling 360 games are shooters (GoW, CoD2, GRAW, R6:Vegas) accounting for over 10 million in sales. 7 of the top 10 are shooters (CoD3, LP, Crackdown). 21 titles have sold over 1 million copies worldwide and 10 of the 21 are shooters.
PS3 isn't a good comparison as only Motorstorm and Resistance are over 1 mil.
The Wii has 8 titles over 1 million with Red Steel being the only shooter.
How about the original X-Box? Its top two selling games were Halo/Halo 2, which were the only shooters in the top 10. Out of all listed million sellers, 12 out of 38 were shooters.
