Action/Adventure is only 2 behind RPG at the moment. I have a feeling week 3 will be a repeat of Week 1, only with different genres that get next to no votes.

I'm sure that everyone knew from the beginning that the big contest was between four genres: A/Adv, Shooter, RPG and Platform, the others had no chance. It'll be interesting to see which of those 4 wins.

I... guess i'll vote RPG?

Not sure if SRPG counts towards RPG even after reading the OP.

But RPG would probably still beat out Fighter... though RPGs are starting to feel painfully automatic.

Where the hell is the mother of all gaming genres and a sub genre of action: platformer?

It doesn't hurt to read the OP

Well now that we've got the sales polls out of the way for the New Year (anyone upset that we're not doing DS and PSP?), we're going to see what kinds of games VGChartz likes to play. Since there are only six possible options, and since there are far more geners than that number, I've decided to run this as a series of three polls. The first week we'll vote on six choices. Next week we'll do six different choices. And on the third week we will put the top three from each poll together for one final grudge match.

I voted action/adventure.
Where's the shooter category bytheby?
Not that I'd haven chosen that, but still, I imagine there are tons of people who would.
