| STEKSTAV said: RPGs and Strategy i can agree with though. Theres basicly no Strategy games on consoles, Halo Wars maybe the only title that works okay. And as for RPGs, Consoles controls are often the main issue here. RPGs on PCs plays better in 8/10 games. Mass Effect and Dragon Age being the recent ones that had an enhanced experience when the controls were in order. Adventure though? Nah. Uncharted and the PS3 basicly has monopoly on that one. |
The RPG market is 100x bigger on consoles simply because of Japan. You also need to count handhelds in that since the DS is pretty much making 90% of all RPGs now. But even if you don't count handhelds, the console market still has way more. Ever since the mid-90s, that's always been the problem, consoles have had more content. It wasn't always better than stuff coming out on PCs, but there was more of it. It was in the late 90s that PCs started to decline in quality (mostly only a few good games a year) and consoles really took over.
Its not about your perception of how an RPG (or any other genre) plays. Its about how the games sell. Even RPGs made for PCs primarily like Fallout 3 sell better on consoles.
Also, there are strategy games on consoles. Many of the first strategy games, such as Advance Wars/Fire Emblem and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, were on consoles. And their series are still ongoing, with many MANY others appearing all the time, both small-time turn based strategy games based in Japan such as Utawarerumono or big time games such as Disgaea and the various Mysterious Dungeon spin-offs. Whereas some of the PC strategy series are dying, such as Age of Empires.
The genres PCs control is FPS, MMO and Simulation. But even then, consoles are picking away at those markets.
