Microsoft - Shooters
Nintendo - Platformers
Sony - Action Adventure


This I would go with as well. MS for shooters, Nintendo for platformers and Sony for adventure games.

But I would say that Sony is really good with both platformers and shooters as well, I would at least put them in second place for both. Nintendo in second place for adventure games.

So for all-around I think Sony would be the one with the biggest variety of genres with good or decent games. Microsoft also has a big variety but is missing out on especially platformers and adventure games. Nintendo on the other hand is missing out on shooters, especially, but also sports/racing games. They have their own such as Mario Kart etc. but lack a proper GT/Forza which Sony/MS has.

MS now that they have Minecraft and at least a timed exclusivity of Tomb Raider, and are hopefully working on Banjo 3 will fill in the gap which they currently have. Next generation Minecraft might be exclusive to the MS brand and Banjo might be re-born as an excellent series again. Tomb Raider I don't think will stay exclusive to MS permanently, but it would benefit them very much if it did.

Metroid and Zelda are also adventure games. Some of the best in the industry. Realistic racing games suck imo, Nintendo doesn't need that lol. They have F-Zero and Mario Kart. Mario Kart is the biggest racing franchise in the world. ;)

Nintendo has the biggest variety of genres by far.
