To be honest with you Squilly I think it's kind of a strange comment considering you hadn't touched a Mario game until the very recent future!

Um actually I have given it a fair chance and it sux plain and simple. Mario Kart DD is the best Mario Kart game had more strategy and innovation than any of the previous or more recent ones have had. Looking at games like Need for Speed Shift and NFS Most Wanted I will say yes. Dude Mario Kart is racing for kids basically even though it may be fun it is not number one racer and never will be. Saying Super Smash Bros is the best fighting game series or sayign Mario Kart is the best racing game series is quite laughable. BTW SSBB is only good at parties its boring as hell by yourself or even playing coop campaign. I borrowed the game from a buddy of mine after about a month I gave it back. Its built for parties its a 4 player fighter my friend! It is fun at parties but nothing more I would rather watch my grandma play Wii Sports bowling then shoot down every fighting series that is out there that is way more fun and has better componants than that series has. MK nor SSB series are the Best in either of the categories that is all. Only a Nintendo Fanboy would even believe that. I love Nintendo games they are fun but that isn't the discussion here. It's about what series is top of it's class in each genre.

Against 360 it does already or will soon. I'll break it down.

Racing: Right now 360 leads with Forza and Project Gotham against only GT5 Prologue and Motorstorm. But The full version of Gran Turismo 5 will give PS3 the lead.

Shooting: Right now 360 leads with Gears, L4D, and Halo. But PS3 is catching up with Killzone, Metal Gear Solid and MAG coming soon. 360 will probably win at shooters though unless MAG is a massive hit.

Action/Adventure/Platform: Tough call but I give it to PS3 due to games like Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank and LittleBigPlanet. 360 doesn't have a lot to counter these titles.

RPG: 360 is dominating with Mass Effect, Tales of Vesperia and Fable. PS3's only exclusive RPG is Valkyrie Chronicles. Final Fantasy vs 13 will help and maybe Mass Effect 2 going multi-plat?

So 360 wins in shooters and RPG's but PS3 is closing the gap in both those categories. And PS3 is leading in Action/Adventure and will lead in racing.

Platformer:  PS3/Wii 

Racing: 360/PS3

RPG: 360

Action/Adventure:  360/PS3

Puzzle: Wii

Party/Family Games: Wii

Fighting: 360/PS3

This is not fanboyish I looked at full libraries for each and compared.

I say again. PITIFUL attempt to attack specific franchises. SSB "sux plain & simple"? I guess all your fighters must suck real hard since they're rated so much lower.

You haven't given any of the games a fair chance and obviously don't understand them. Exactly when has SSB been all about campaign? I doubt you even played the campaign modes. And i say again you know NOTHING of the Smash scene, saying its "only good for parties". It's built like almost any other fighter, it just has its own style which can allow 3 or 4 players! Don't talk like you know how the game is when you clearly dont.

And lol @ how you'd rather watch your grandma play Wii Sports, great taste. ;)

DD!! is not the best MK game, how on earth did it have "more strategy and innovation"? Someone like you more than likely did not even bother to go in deph with any of the MK games. If you believe 2 people on a Kart was the innovation there is something wrong with you. Granted, the gameplay was vastly different from other MK titles; better? That's debateable, but it's by no means the best.

Did i say SSB was the best fighter around? No. Nor did i say MK was the best racer around, and comparing it to realistic racers is stupid since they're radically different. and if its just for kids what are you doing playing it? Go play your awesomeneedzforspeedzorz!!!!q11211!!! Because thats a game for adults right? Lol, you talk how MK will never be the best racer ever, and then you bring up Need for Speed? My god, at least use a better realistic racer like Burnot. Ever played MKDS? Probably not, although knowing you you'd probably dismiss it as a rubbish game anyway.

If you know what's the best and what's not, then tell me what is the best games for each respective genre's?

Oh, and... stop lying, you don't actually love Nintendo now do you. I find it hard to beleive you've even tried a respectable number of Wii titles

The PS3 is ruling only one genre... there is a lot of work to do.

In my opinion:

Shooter = 360

 - Gears of War
 - Halo
 - Shadowrun
 - Left 4 Dead
 - Crackdown

WRPG = 360

 - Mass Effect
 - Fable
 - Fallout + Chapters
 - Too Human

JRPG = 360

 - Star Ocean
 - Lost Odyssey
 - Tales of Vesperia
 - Blue Dragon
 - Infinite Undiscovery
 - The Last Remnant

Aventure = PS3

 - Metal Gear Solid 4
 - Uncharted

Platformer = Wii

 - Super Mario Galaxy

Puzzle&Arcade= 360 (XBLA)

 - Braid
 - Blow
 - Sonic
 - Banjo-Kazooie
 - Chessmaster Live
 - Banjo-Tooie
 - Uno Rush
 - Rez HD
 - Virtual On
 - Outrun
 - So many more...

Hack&Slash = 360

 - Ninja Gaiden 2
 - Ninety Nine Nights
 - Ninja Blade



If you seek exclusive games, there is one console of choice this generation: Xbox 360.
The new PS2.

 It's interesting how tastes varies from one fan to another, lol. But seriously, pushing some of your games on that list, lol, it's hard to believe you truly believe that, lol unless you have some fucked up sense of gaming. Very interesting indeed. Everybody's opinion FTW!!!!

heres my take:

Action/Adventure- PS3 (easily w/ uncharted, ratchet, mgs4, gow3, heavenly sword)

Platformers- PS3 (LBP, plus uncharted/ratchet are pseudo platformers)

Racers- 360/PS3/Wii- 3 way tie (all have great racing franchises- and yes MKWii is a blast)

Shooters- 360 (Halo, GeOW, L4D)

RPG- 360 (JRPGs and WRPGs)

Family- Wii

Sports- Wii (unless you're a graphics whore- wii sports, wii fit, motion + golf/tennis, balance board snowboarding/skateboarding games)

RTS- 360
