And actually, there's the argument that you can make more potential profits, even with a small indie game, on consoles over PC.

Of course, it depends on the genre and how you release it.  A independent SRPG probably won't do well on XBL or WiiWare and fare better on PC.  However, many SHUMPS, action games and especially puzzle and platformers have done AMAZINGLY well on XBL and WiiWare when they probably would have hardly been noticed in the sea of indie self published and freeware on PCs.

Like with any game genre, from the very biggest to the smallest, like these, it all comes down to advertising and hype.  And since XBL and WiiWare markets the games for you on a worldwide console distribution service....

Or if you want to show your mettle in doing amazing stuff with hardware ( like Carmack) then it's a blessing that you aren't restricted to the same old games and looking like everyone else.

True but even with a single hardware format developers continue to learn tricks and optimize their codes so while the graphical jump over a five year span for the consoles won't theoretically be as large as the ones for the PC that jump will still be there. Just look at games like Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Alan Wake, GoW2, GT5, Forza 3 and Heavy Rain and compare them to games 2-3 years ago and you see the difference.

Theres also the fact that first party titles get major financial backing and big advertisement campaigns from their console manufacturers allowing the developers to spend more money and time pushing the graphical boundaries for the game which is a resource PC games sorely lack in.

I would say I contradicted myself, but simply by saying one word wrong.  Instead of saying 'control', I should have said PC has better 'support' of FPS.  Though obviously, as you said, FPS on consoles are selling much better.  But since many of the FPS are being developed for both PC and then being put on the consoles at the same time (same game for both platforms), that's kind of the reason FPS are still more of a PC genre.  Not to mention many of the biggest FPS developers develop mostly PC games.

Also, both the genres the OP stated can and have been made on consoles well.  I don't think games like FFXI, Phantasy Star Online or Monster Hunter Tri lack anything that makes them a viable MMO.  RTS however can be debated as being better played on a PC, though there are console games which have used the setup, such as Pikmin and Little King's Story.  And put their very own spin on it.

But no matter how you slice it, whether you're looking at RPGs by their sales, 'support' or just plain number of titles released, consoles outnumber PC RPGs.  Its been that way ever since the mid 90s.  Heck, even the major innovators and game series which STARTED RPGs on PC (games like Wizardry and Ultima) moved to consoles in the mid 90s, mostly to increase their sales as the PC market is just smaller than that of the console market.  So unless you take into account those small, independantly developed PC RPGs, then console RPGs outnumber them.

Okay, that didn't really add anything besides name dropping a few games that did it well. So yet again, back to topic.. why are we here? Why do the OP, and most people, feel that certain genres are PC oriented?

There are more successful MMOs on PCs than on Consoles.
There are more successful RTS on PCs than on Consoles.
There are more successful RPGs on PCs than on Consoles.
There are basicly the same amount of successful FPSs on PCs as on Consoles.

Yet FPS is a PC genre, while RGPs aren't? I mean, World of Warcraft basicly earns more money than all combined RPGs on Consoles each year.

Any modern day FPS game is also on consoles. Heck, consoles even have big exclusives like Killzone 2, Halo 3 and The Conduit. How does that relate to PCs having more support? Might it be because the genre have better gameplay when on PC?

Again, like Stekstav, you are confusing 'good' with 'more games'.  And your perception of good.  Secondly, you are limiting your perception to just games released in America and under one year.  Sure, I can say PC did better than consoles in one genre in one year as well.  But over the grand scheme of things, consoles are releasing WAY more games in most genres than PC.  Lastly, more awards don't always equal more sales.  I'm talking about SALES.  Not how GOOD you perceive a game to be.  And again, that hits on your limiting your view to just games released in America under one specific time frame yadda yadda.

Heck, multiple of the games you put under PC are also on the 360 (more than just Fallout 3) and many RPGs on the 360 are soon to be on the PS3, etc. etc.  Not to mention all the RPGs for Wii never released here or soon to be released like Arc Rise Fantasia, Monando, Fragile, Tales of Graces, etc.

One compounding bit of evidence you could say that makes the PC have more RPGs than consoles however is the literally thousands of small studio and independently made RPGs on PC.  Much of these are, once again, made in Japan and are either Anime or Hentai based and some making their way to handhelds.  But its up to you if you are going to count those.

Also, MMOs are considered a genre now.  I have no idea what this 'technology' nonsense is.  That's like saying 'Strategy' is a technology because it can be attributed to multiple sub-genres like tactical and real time.  MMO is a genre with multiple sub-genres.

And actually, there's the argument that you can make more potential profits, even with a small indie game, on consoles over PC.

Of course, it depends on the genre and how you release it.  A independent SRPG probably won't do well on XBL or WiiWare and fare better on PC.  However, many SHUMPS, action games and especially puzzle and platformers have done AMAZINGLY well on XBL and WiiWare when they probably would have hardly been noticed in the sea of indie self published and freeware on PCs.
