Wii does well in Misc, which is basically party games, and has a lot of sports (which again, using the term loosely). 360 does well in Shooters, Action, Sports, and the same for PS3 but with fighting doing alright too.

Wii has 4 genres with 10, 1m sellers or more, X360 has 7, PS3 has 6.

But like I said, there are genres that do better on PSN/XBLA like platformers.

This isn't even going into the fact we still have too many Wii mill sellers than need adjusting down.
