You have to read the HTML to make the links correct. It's a bit of a pain, but if you state the exact options you were using, I'll fix them for you.

For sales? I'd say.

America:

PS3: FPS

360: FPS

Wii: Minigames (Or FPS if they gets some serious entrys)

Europe

PS3: Racing/FPS

360: FPS/Racing

Wii: Minigames/Racing

Japan

PS3: RPGs

360: broad spectrum

Wii: Nintendo games (Wii Fit, Brawl, Kart.)

Of course dominate doesn't = all sales. Just largest genre. For example I expect Wii RPGs to actually outsell PS3 RPGs in japan. (I think FF will get delayed... and if you don't count FF it won't be close.)

I'm praying this is the year of the lightgun shooter for Wii. Sega need to announce Virtua Cop!
