Microsoft knows that they have a strong user base that enjoys the shooters, racing games and sports games. They also know that they need to expand out of this market, so they position the Xbox live marketplace as the place to do that.

I like numbers. I like statistics. And, I kinda want to be a Nintendo fan. I don't think I am, I think it's more that they make the games that I want to play.
