Yeah, that is pretty annoying when all the fanboyz cry about one year headstart. It is not ms:s fault that other companies did enough testing to make sure they provide quality hardware ;)

There, fixed it for you.

Wii has about 5 unbeatable games that are the best in their genre though.
Zelda=Adventure
SMG=Platformer
Fire Emblem= SRPG (though Disgaea 3 may prove to be better, dunno)
Smash=Fighting (imo, this is debatable I guess)
Mario Kart= Kart Racing

 

Fire emblem is not the best rpg. Smash is not the best fighter. Mario kart definitely is not the best racer. :D

Smash by sales has rights to call itself that. Same with Mario kart because everyone loves it face the facts. Name a racer better the mario cart besides Gran Trusimo. Name a better fighting game besides Mortal Combat adn Tekken?

Well Smash as he said is up to tastes.  I would prefer smash over any other fighter on any system.

 

And he said Kart Racing, not racer.  Thus yes it is.

Also he did not say RPG.  SRPG is a totally different genre.

Well the thread is about this:

 

http://www.gamesradar.com/f/which-console-does-best-and-worst-in-each-genre/a-20080721122120562022

 

That includes following genres: tps,platformers,fps,adventure,rpg,sports and racing games. From those, in which genres does Fire emblem and mario kart belong?

Hint: I bolded them.

Only after denying the problem for a year.  They had no choice really.  If they didn't do this, the 360 would be in last place already.

Gnizmo on 23 July 2008

This was posted yesterday, and it was a load of crap then too. I want you to go use the Metacritic search engine and see what comes up for various genres. They have over 10 games for the Wii as a third person shooter. This includes Twilight Princess, Medal of Honor, Metal Slug Anthology, and (my personal favorite too) BlastWorks: Build, Trade, Destroy. Without a list of the actual games they used the entire idea is worthless. No one is going to recognize every game on the list and thus could easily erroneously categorize it.

Two things.

First, I was amazed that the Wii fared as well as it did, since we hear so many people decry the quality of its games (it really was not too terribly different than the PS3).

Second, footnote 4 in the story helps explain the situation:
4) The consoles have had different lengths of time on the shelves. Not only does that mean 360 has more games available than PS3, but also that the old games are just that - old. If something scored 85 on its release, it stays at 85 unless new reviews are added. If that exact same game were released today on PS3, it may look outdated already, so that has to be taken into consideration.

In other words, the site hypothesizes that the Xbox 360 has a built in advantage because its games did not have any current generation competitionfor a year and may have received higher scores as a result.

Mike from Morgantown

I completely agree.
