The JRPG numbers are sad. For every single console, not only 360.


They did a lot better on handhelds. I'm actually pretty confident that JRPGs are the best selling genre on them.

Wii is King of the Misc.!



I am the Playstation Avenger.

   

Good thread, but could use a little bit of fine tuning.



Would almost make sense to take a 2 Genre Game and Split its sales between those 2 Genre's. If the point is to just compare Genre/Console vs Genre/Console

Good stuff tho, keep it up.



i like it, he went through a lot of trouble, but to be honest there isnt anything here that most of us did not already know. There are alot of factors keeping this from being accurate, i bet those platfomer numbers would change alot if we could get DL data seeing as alot of those games are on PSN/XBL. It is interesting to see how skwed things become. Ninty has the most racing sales, but they are pretty much coming from one game, where the others are more widespread. not to mention their a some genres that are painfully underrepresented. FPS on Wii. Misc on PS3

I guess I have chosen the right #1 console for me, since almost all my favourite genres are selling best with 360. Without a doubt, my next console will be a MS console too.

Oh sports games are virtually a tie so, yea for ms!



Obviously 360 was going to have the most successful genres. It has one of the highest attach rates of any console.

Wii lead genres = Misc... that pretty much says it all. Nintendo should quit consoles next year.



intresting

So...where's Metal Gear Solid 4, one of the best-selling PS3 exclusives, in this list???? And as others have asked, where is the fighting genre? 


Just added fighting.  


and MGS4? That would put PS3 really close to 1st in TOP TPS.



I like the internet. The first responses are all about the definitions of the genre, while the first responses should be a big THANK YOU for all the work you put in this thread.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
