What do you guys think? Xbox 360 comes close, but lacks platformers and a few action adventure games. It still blows my mind they made Banjo Kazooie: N&B instead of a full 3D platformer, especially after Mario Galaxy was a hit. Nuts and Bolts is one of the few times gaming has made me legit angry lol.

Yup. This is why I love playstation. It has everything.



Dark Souls and Valkiria Chronicles aren't JRPGs. Dungeon Crawler and SRPG respectively.

EDIT: Also, The Last of Us is Action Adventure, not just Adventure.

True. I kind of just lumped them together for simplicites sake. But the more the better, right?



Yeah, but it's lacking semi-naked girls volleyball beach games, like Dead or Alive Xtreme 2!

I'd say it's as diverse as it possibly gets. Nintendo consoles usually lack diversity, or at least they have since the N64 released. As for Microsoft, they are pretty diverse due to third party which Sony also has but they lack the first party that Sony brings to the table. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are two of my top 5 favorite consoles.



All PS consoles seem to have a lot of variety

True. I'd just put VC with Strategy and make a separate Dungeon Crawler catagory for Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma, Sacred 2, Diablo III of course, and the like.



What about the PS2?

Like hack and slash games. I forgot about Diablo III and Dragon's Dogma as well.
