This I would go with as well. MS for shooters, Nintendo for platformers and Sony for adventure games.
But I would say that Sony is really good with both platformers and shooters as well, I would at least put them in second place for both. Nintendo in second place for adventure games.
So for all-around I think Sony would be the one with the biggest variety of genres with good or decent games. Microsoft also has a big variety but is missing out on especially platformers and adventure games. Nintendo on the other hand is missing out on shooters, especially, but also sports/racing games. They have their own such as Mario Kart etc. but lack a proper GT/Forza which Sony/MS has.
MS now that they have Minecraft and at least a timed exclusivity of Tomb Raider, and are hopefully working on Banjo 3 will fill in the gap which they currently have. Next generation Minecraft might be exclusive to the MS brand and Banjo might be re-born as an excellent series again. Tomb Raider I don't think will stay exclusive to MS permanently, but it would benefit them very much if it did.

Metroid and Zelda are also adventure games. Some of the best in the industry. Realistic racing games suck imo, Nintendo doesn't need that lol. They have F-Zero and Mario Kart. Mario Kart is the biggest racing franchise in the world. ;)
Nintendo has the biggest variety of genres by far.

I will both agree and disagree with you here. I mean, Zelda of course is the very best action-adventure game series out there, hands down. Zelda alone is what still keeps me into console gaming, if Nintendo shut down the series I might actually consider to focus only or mainly on PC gaming. That's how high I hold that series. :)
But in my opinion, even though Nintendo has Zelda and Metriod which are two great series, Sony has more series in the same genre which are also great/good games. So I think they (Sony) should win that one. But if I would focus on only the very best game, then yes Nintendo wins that genre too, with Zelda.
For racers, even though Mario Kart is a great game I believe that if Nintendo is missing something it is a proper racing sim in the lines of GT/Forza. Maybe you think they don't need it, and that's fair enough, but they do miss one. :P
And the last part I disagree with, I think that Sony has the biggest variety with good games in most genres. Nintendo I could agree has the most great games in the most genres, and absolutely the very best games in a lot of genres, but they are in less genres than Sony and even MS.
