im with pokoko and ultimateunknow on this one. Beat em ups were more popular in the arcade anyway, one cant possibly compare that to the FPS genre which never had a presence on arcades. How about we compare it to a genre that did dominate CONSOLES like...platformers. That was the king back then.
Bad transition?? Ok i can see that. But to say that 2d platformers transistioned better. Very few 2d platformers were being made in the 32 bit era and that genre took a nosedive in popularity in lieu of new shiny 3d worlds. Speaking of which i would consider 3d platformers as the same genre as 2d ones. Which is why i say 2d platformers didnt have a better transition
