But you gotta consider what are the biggest names in fighting games when you consider something the "home" of them.  PS has gotten Street FIghter exclusive, but the next biggest name in the fighting genre (and gaining popularity) is Smash Bros. 

Hard to consider something the "home" of a genre when it's missing the second biggest name in the genre.


Not hard to consider when the "second" biggest name in the genre is a first party title and has no other competition on its home platform.

 

Third party titles will determine whether a system is a "Home" for that particular genre.

 

There's loads of other fighting franchises in the mix - the more releases of Street Fighter, King of Fighters, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Dead or Alive, Mortal Kombat, etc will determine which system will be home of the fighting genre.

The fact that there can be re-releases of digital titles for older frozen fighting IPs such as Rival Schools, Darkstalkers, Soul Calibur, etc will also help choosing which system will be "home" of the fighting genre.

If you say so.
