Crash Team Racing is better than Mario Kart

If Smash can be considered a fighting game, than any fighting game really beats it (KOF is my favorite though)

Can Pokemon be considered the leader of turned baded JRPGs? If so, I pick Persona above it

Souls beats whatever is the action-rpg market leader

Animal Crossing beats The Sims as Life Simulation game 

Fire Emblem is the best tactical rpg 

Resident Evil is the best survival/horror game 

3D Mario is the best platformer

Larian games wins CRPGs

Zelda wins action-adventure genre 

Civilization is the best turn based strategy game 

Can't decide if Metroid still the market leader for metroidvanias 

Games that are superior to overrated/ overhyped games that are unfortunate market leaders.

I'm confused on TLOU/Resident Evil. I would have thought Resdient evil was market leader.

Not out just yet, but...

Better than Smash.

Right now. Space Marine 2 is better than Gears 5 and 4. Tho I like both. I even like GoW4 more than most. SM2 different game but still a TPS. Has that scope. Visceral and violent beefy boy vibes Gears has missed since the 360. Let's see what Eday does.

Splinter Cell 1-3 were the best stealth-games of their era.

Path of Exile is a much better game than Diablo 4 (the market leader).

(sadly only like 350k-400k play it (western numbers) (not sure how big it is in china, as they have their own servers ect.), and the vast majority just never even hear of it)
