Is the f/tps genre a lesser genre than platforming

Okay so I probably going to insult many nintenbelievers so please don't kill me, as seems to be a trend lately.

On many nintendorelates sites and some topics on this site I read comments like the twins only got shooters (wrong statement but never the less) to defend the so called more diverse Wii U library. Point is first of all there are more playable genres on the twins and second and probably more important is a game with guns in it per definition less than a platformer. Because if I count correctly the nintendo WII U, has NSMB U, 3D world, DKC TF, and Captain Toad which is almost halve of the wii u total exclusives.

What I am trying to say is that where has the idea been formed that platforming be it 2d or 3d is per definition better than shooting or is the motivation by those arguments simply nintendo doesn't make shooters so it is probably a shitty genre (except for 007 on the N64 we all loved that game). Those same people are probably going to love splatoon and are actually a bunch of hypocrits.

But what do you think is one genre per definition better than another or is it just some bs to defend your favourite console/bash other consoles 

Not sure if this is a coincidence but I just said that fps wasn't a lesser genre than platforming in another thread earlier this morning. Did you see that comment and make this thread? Anyways, I believe that people who don't like fps(whether they're just bad or it isn't their thing) tend to hate it simply because it's so popular. Popular things ironically tend to be hated on the most. Either way I don't only think this is a Nintendo only thing though.
