Did any of you who say sports games play PS1 or PS2 with 2 multitaps? 8 players at the same time on one game is a hella fun... and only doable in sports games. (though is there even the possibility for 8 players anymore? wii and 360 are limited to 4, dunno about PS3).

I don't know if this qualifies as a genre but I would vote for fishing games.
I don't think any genre should die, but I think fewer games should be released for the sports and FPS genres.

FPS
In order of needing death the most to least:
1. Sports: Go out an try real sports for a change.
2. TBRPGs that consider a storyline a substitute for decent gameplay.
3. MMORPGs: time-wasting, life-eating timesinks.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
Interesting.
A lot of sports haters and rhythm game haters here.
Of course, without the money from sports and music, there would not be enough to cover R&D for other genres.
So be careful what you seek.
I agree with those who said movie-tie-ins. These are usually worse than shovelware because they are full price and are pretentious. And even fewer of them are good games than shovelware -- which can be fun sometimes for short bursts (especially when unintentionally funny).

Sports games. If I ever want to play a sport I go outside and play it for real. A waste, IMO >.> I dislike rythm/music games but they don't really bother me that much.
I also dislike movie-tie-ins

Well, they made Phase just last year.
I'm not a hardcore gamer. I'm not a casual gamer. I'm a gamer.

I don't recall Mario Baseball, Soccer, etc. being the crux of Nintendo's breadwinning games.
And I don't count Wii Sports because I'm talking about companies releasing the same goddamn game every year with an updated roster and charging full price for it.
THAT needs to die.

Umm... u can use the same argument for sports games.
