Ratchet and Clank: Tools of destruction showed a lot of potential for platform games and I mention that many PS2 platform games can have PS3 sequels and do very well.

the analysis is based on what there is now and what I believe should be done on each console, IF there is a chance

And... when did MGS4 or GoW2 became platformers?

360 appears to be winning at the moment....that su- no wait, i mean, yay!

was there more? :P interesting read so far I can't really argue anything although I do have to admit that a shooter on the wii isn't that bad either if done well. Certain sports have to be non wii like football y futbol while things like boxing and golf i would prefer on the wii.

I'm pointing out the current weaknesses and strengths of all three consoles for each genre, and there is no real winner in this analysis.

final part:

10. First Person Adventure

• Xbox360: This is another weakspot mostly for the great number of shooters for the system (Oblivion and Fallout 3 are more RPGs). It will be a fresh experience but I doubt it will sell well unless it has a great marketing campaign. The online is almost nonexistent since it focuses on the single player experience. the doorway is open for an exclusive of this genre, but with the number of shooters tha chanced of being shadowed is very high. it depends more on Microsoft than any other publisher.
• PS3: Has a higher chance because if the cinematic experience more related to this system and less chance of being shadowed by shooters. The focus here is a very deep storyline and interactive cutscenes with a seamless transition from and to gameplay. The problem is that there is no exclusive that can prove how successful the game can be.
• Wii: There is a potential here for the controls, because the strenght of the genre is a set of many actions the character can perform, the real example is Metroid Prime 3 Corruption but that game does not exploit all possibilities of the genre as much as Penumbra on PC.

11. Simulation

• Xbox360/PS3: there arent examples of this genre that we can call remarkable and is a weakspot on both of them, mostly in the consoles' marketing strategies, they are not one of the strongest focuses. a good game might sell well with a viral campaign
• Wii: MySims marked the begining of a potential of the genre on Wii, but so far has been marked as too kiddy. the interface can be simmilar as to PC's but needs to invite playes to join and play. commercials are just not enough.

if you know a genre I haven't written about, let me know... I will study and analayze it

What is a first person adventure?

Also, it's worth pointing out that Oblivion and Fallout 3 are on PS3, and Oblivion is arguably superior on PS3.

Yeah that's a good question :)

The only things I can think about is Mirror's Edge and maybe watered down RPGs like Mass Effect , Oblivion and Fallout 3 but you say those are RPG.

Good analysis.

No fighting game section.
May I try?

Xbox 360: It certainly can handle a fighting game, but the D-Pad is too inaccurate to control a character very well. Developers need to work on making playing with the analog stick easier.

PS3: The PS2 before it was the home of fighting games (DoA, Tekken, Soul Calibur), so it follows that the PS3 would be a well designed fighting game console. The D-pad certainly helps.

Wii: Again, with the Wii, the developers need to focus on a different kind of game, not unnecessarily including waggle. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a great example of what a Wii fighting game can be.

Metroid Prime, which actually action-adventure from first-person perspective and with strong shooter elements... + Myst-clones.

@OP, good work, but may be you should merge all "adventure" genres in one - P'n'C, FPA + Visual Novels, Puzzle-Adventures - those are Wii territory among home consoles like DS now among hadnhelds.

Very good analysis in my opinion, you should send that to the developers so they can see how they should do the games
