Though I wouldn't say that they dominate, as Nintendo's been known to release some notable (bit of an understatement) games, but one could claim that they go toe-to-toe with anyone in the adventure genre. Ico and SotC are both at the pinnacle of their respective genre.

I'm not huge on sim racers, but I believe GT has dominated that genre for quite some time. I could be wrong here, as I simply do not pay that much attention.

They dominate the Karaoke genre as well, if it is to be seperated from the music genre as a whole, that is.

That's all I really could think of.

OT: Both Firem Emblem and Mario are among my most consistently favourite games. However, Sony has released quite a few of my favourite games in the past 9-10 years. It's difficult to choose really. And as it has been said several times already: this isn't Microsoft's strong suit, but that's fine so long as they keep finding ways to providing qulaity experiences on their console/OS.

I would like to speak on the bolded part.

I have to say i have come to a realization recently that makes me very happy inside. The current Sony fan base are truely hardcore. Not because they play M rated games or own a lot of game but because they are true Sony fans and are very pationate. I respect that a lot. The casuals and some of the hardcore PS2 fanbase jumped ship to the Wii and 360. Now most of whats left of PS3 owners, at least up to this point, is the real Sony fans. The kind of fan that really digs the PS3 games and the Sony game's. This is the flipside of me. I'm the same way with my Wii and Nintendo. I'm very pationate about Nintendo and the Wii. The thing i really love about this site is people like me and the Sony fans on this site, or at least most of them, can get along because eventhough we are pationate we can repect the other console's games, even if we don't like the. Some Sony fans don't like SMG but they have to respect it, the same way i HATE UC2 and Heavy Rain, but i can respect them.

A little off topic here but there it is. Sony fans i salute you. Now I'm going to go back to the best PS3 and the best Baseball game ever made, MLB 10 The Show.

PS: @MaxwellGT200: Sony does domiate in one genre. The baseball game because The Show is teh bet game evar!!!!11!!1!!!!!

GO METS!

After playing most Sony games once, I have no need/desire to play it again. They don't offer the same replayability as Nintendo games or even MS games, and none of them even compare to the PC games I have.

The way I see it sometimes, Nintendo is for the social gamer, the gamer who likes to have friends over and play games. Xbox is similar, but it's also for the online gamer, who likes to go online and listen to 12 year olds cry about how much they suck/rock. PS3 is for the single-player gamer, the one who enjoys that movie-like experience in the game, and can have a lot of fun playing alone.

I, for one, don't care for the single-player experience much these days, I don't have time for it really. There are still games I HAVE to play (Uncharted, Mass Effect, etc.), but I always prefer the MP experience. Even then, I can replay Mass Effect over and over, but I fell asleep trying to replay Uncharted 1 (and I like 1 MUCH more than 2, but I've talked about that before). There's just a "feel" to Sony's games, that I can't really describe, that doesn't lend themselves to be replayed, and also usually makes me feel disinterested. This obviously isn't the case for everyone, but they don't have as much value to me. Great rentals, but I'm glad I've only bought a few PS3 games.

Obviously, I'm talking console exclusives, not 1st party. It seems unfair to talk 1st party since it's aim seems to be to keep MS out of the loop. But in terms of 1st party, easily Nintendo. SSBB, NSMBW, just those two games alone are more fun than any other PS3/Xbox 360 game I've played, and this is coming from an RPG-lover. Guess it's part of me turning more into a social gamer and not playing single-player games as much.

Heavy rain, possibly the worst game I've played in a long time...

With Other M, I think the difference is that Nintendo are letting a 3rd party work on something that Nintendo themselves created, which makes it trickier to categorize. 

With Sony, all those properties were created by 2nd party developers, which makes them 2nd party games.

And the fact that it's with Team Ninja and not by Team Ninja, since Nintendo is co-developing it.  It effectively is first party in my books, since with anything like that you're gonna have Nintendo watching your every move and having their input even if they weren't co-developing it, hell they told Retro to make Metroid Prime, Miyamoto came in and told them to scrap the whole third person idea lol, if they thought Team Ninja wasn't on their path the same thing would happen.

Where have I mentioned a game not published by Sony ?

Very good point about GT, honestly I have my PS1 copy, not really played the series since but when you think of a Sony game dominating a genre that would be it.  I'm not sure about singing games especially when you think that's apart of Rock Band and Guitar Hero now, even then it's hard for me to give them the clear win.

Adventure is a strong point for them its true, but at least for me, they have yet to perfect it (though I've been playing SotC which is pretty awesome), but you look at things like Uncharted 1&2 and while they're really good story, graphics, and gameplay it lacked the real adventure feel to me like the original Tomb Raiders had, basically because Uncharted is fairly linear and the things you have to find are almost given to you, adventure is supposed to be venturing into the unknown and finding cool things along the way, like a secret passage that gives you a badass item.

My idea of domination though is not only scores, but a mixture of sales, scores, fans, popularity, etc.  and if you want to talk the adventure genre, no one can deny that Zelda just rules that, its got the sales, its always getting big marks, and when you ask the average joe to tell you the one adventure game he knows/wants/likes/played it'll likely be Zelda, ask a more avid gamer and you get more diverse responses like your uncharted, MGS,  or SotC.

Exactly. The ones you mentioned are the Sony franchises that don't interest me at all. I liked the idea of LBP (though from reports of how the actual platforming mechanics are, i might have balked a little at its execution. I wouldn't know since i've never actually touched a PS3 before), and i love a lot of what they're doing on PSP (LocoRoco and Patapon). Mostly its their Japanese franchises i like anymore.
