Why isn't Sony or MS willing to risk a multi million dollar marketing budget on an arcade game excluding FPS?

It's why they're losing the console war btw.

Wait, what's an arcade game?

Pac Man, Donkey Kong Jr., Galaga, Dig Dug,TONS of Shooters, TONS of fighters, Derby Owners Club, Ski Ball, Baseball/Football Toss, Basketball, Metal Slug, R-Type, Super Stardust HD, Side Scrolling Brawlers, etc...

Things you find on PSN or XBLA.

Pyro as Bill, you brought over nomenclature from an unrelated series of discussions and tried to shoehorn it into the vernacular of an entirely different audience. That is not going to help facilitate communications.

EVERYONE, THIS IS WHAT HE MEANS:

"Where are the pick-up-and-play games with a focus on accessibility and challenge? I am excluding FPS games, fighting games, and downloadable games from this question."

Wait... this wasn't a game where we try to solve Pyro as Bill's riddles?

I see....

It's a disingenuous question in a lot of ways. The arcades have been dying for years in the US for a reason.

More, action games carry on arcade values. You want arcade games? Look no further than Earth Defense Force 2017. Look no further than Bayonetta. Look no further than Ninja Gaiden.

It's there. You just have to be willing to look for it.

Seriously :P lol, now your just overdoing it.

Is Buzz! an arcade game? Because that's one I can play on my PS3 and it's not a FPS, a fighting game or a downloadable game.

I've played the Wii version of EDF and it's arcadey, it's not an arcade game though. It still requires levelling up and building characters (kind of assuming).

I know they are there. But why are they downloadables and not the holiday blockbuster outside of shooters?

PS3/360 has the shooter without a doubt, possibly killing it because that's all it seems to have. Could a 2d platformer not sell 20M on PS3/360?

Yes, so is just about every retail racer on PS3 that is not Gran Turismo. MNR counts just like MKWii. Cabella hunting titles too. Every fighter. Every FPS, especially Time Crisis.

It doesn't help his argument when he removes what is arguably the biggest portion left in Arcade gaming considering that is what I see most of at my local Dave and Busters, outside of Derby Owners Club, the moving Basketball hoops, crane games, ski ball, Mo Cap Boxing, etc...
