Simple question.  Out of the games you've played for this gen of consoles, which genre has taken up the most of your time.

For me it has been action/adventure.  Yes I realize that's kind of the "other" genre but from Uncharted to Infamous to Batman to Deus Ex to MGS4 (and the HD collection) to GTA4 to Red Dead Redemption to Assassin's Creed to Heavy Rain I have devoted a lot of time this gen to that genre.  A close second would be platformers with Ratchet, Mario, Zelda, LBP, Rayman, and the HD collections of Sly, Jak, and Okami.  This has been my favorite gen so far (only been gaming since PSone) and I look forward to enjoying some more amazing games in these genres such as Sly 4 (long time coming), Tomb Raider, LoU, Beyond, Puppeteer, and GTA5.

Going to pick up Ni No Kuni?  I've never been an RPG guy (especially JRPG) but even I'm finding it hard to resist.

RPG and Strategy.

The Mario genre.

RPG put up a match, though.

It's always strategy for me... This past week I've spent DAYS playing EU3 :p there's always ONE country somewhere in the world that needs a good beating ^^

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Platformers (2D and 3D) and action-adventures. I aslo play FPS a lot (not military ones).

I thought Zelda was action/adventure?

Isn't it obvious the most overdone genre in gaming FPS after this gen im not buying a FPS unless it's innovative.
