Last generation the ps2 was known as the rpg console. And the Xbox was the shooter box. So what about this generation? Which video game platform (360, wii, ps3 or pc) more or less owns the following genres?
NOTE: Games must have been released, so future games that may turn the tide don’t count (like GT5, GOW3). And the Pc’s library can’t go back in time too far.
Beat ‘em up/Hack and Slash
Fighting
Platform
First-Person Shooter (FPS)
Third-Person Shooter (TPS)
Action-Adventure
Stealth
Survival Horror
Construction and Management Simulation (CMS)
Life Simulation
Japanese RPG (JRPG)
Western RPG (WRPG)
Strategy RPG (SRPG)
MMORPG
Turn-Based Strategy (TBS)
Real-Time Strategy (RTS)
Racing Simulation
Arcade Racing
Music
Party
Puzzle
Sports
With my limited knowledge my guess would be:
360: TPS, JRPG, Race Sim
Wii: Platform, Party, Action-Adventure
Ps3: SRPG, Stealth
Pc: MMORPG, TBS, RTS, Life Sim, CMS
Ps3/360/Wii/Pc: Puzzle
Ps3/360/Wii: Arcade Racing, Music, Fighting
Ps3/360/Pc: FPS, WRPG
Ps3/360: Sports, Survival Horror, Hack & Slash
The inclusion of the Wii makes everything a bit harder for me as you have to put gems like Mario Kart against the like of Burnout and Super Smash against Street Fighter.
