you expect the generic chooter to be back on top do you, really shows how much video games have gone down hill.

Of course I expect it to. It's my knowledge of games retail, not how good the games are by comparison. Platform exclusives tend to have great launch weeks but struggle up against multi-format releases. CoD - which is available on multiple formats is much more likely to top the chart between now and Christmas.
Racers just don't sell as well as shooters these days unfortunately.
I'd much rather folks went out and bought Apache Air Assault on PS3/X360 - but you can lead a horse to water...
Edit: And yes games really have gone downhill, it's become a very dull shooter-led market these days. Gone is the diversity of ten years ago.
