Investing in Nintendo consoles has actually made me open up to a wide variety of genres and games because of the lack of third parties. Before when I was just on Playstation, I would really only buy games that were heavily advertised and they were usually FPS or third person action games, with the occasional platformer. Now with the Wii U and 3DS, I've become exposed to tactical RPGs, RTS, life simulation, turn-based RPGs, party games, survival horror, action/hack&slash, adventure games and a TON of platformers (which I consider my favorite genre at the moment).
During the Wii era, I definitely would've considered myself a more casual Nintendo fan. I only bought the huge games like Smash Bros, Mario Kart and Mario Galaxy, and not much more. But now? I'm a lot more open to trying out each title, as long as it doesn't have a horrible reputation (*cough* Sonic Boom *cough*). So I definitely consider myself a more involved Nintendo fan now.

There's variety on Xbox and PlayStation, but you need to look for it. I think Steam it's pretty much the adequate platform to introduce yourself to other genres and get satisfying experiences from smaller games rather than the typical AAA title.

I'm not saying there isn't variety on Xbox and Playstation. And Steam is a really amazing and accessible way to jump into other genres because pretty much everything is very cheap so you're not like "Well I'm dropping $60 for this game that I may or may not like..." It's really cool.
