The XBOX 360 does not offer the variety in games that the PS2 had either, or for that matter the PS3..

In what genres does the 360 lag behind the PS3? 

I think they are pretty even.  The only thing the 360 lacks that the ps3 has is a good platformer there is no answer for ratchet there is kameo and banjo but they aren't loved by as many fans and reviewers.  But the ps3 lacks wrpgs there is no answer for fable and mass effect on the ps3.  Both have good shooters and jrpgs.  Both have good action adventure titles, and both have good racing titles.

The only other thing where sony may have a leg up on the competition is when it comes to a few innovative titles like heavy rain and littlebigplanet.  And who knows maybe microsoft is waiting to put all of their innovation and take risks with their natal titles since they said they were going to treat it like a new console. 

Doesn't make sense to me either tbh. They feel about even in most genre's except platformer for now.
