One of the big debates in SW used to be "Ninja Gaiden vs God of War", we all remember how many threads there were based on this argument.

It seems that now the PS3 dominates this action-adventure genre, though.

Its library includes: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 & 2 (superior versions of the Xbox counter-parts), God of War 3, Uncharted 1 & 2, Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Infamous, and MAG. Plus, all the awesome multi-plat games (such as RE5, GTA IV, etc.)

Can we put this debate to rest now?

Fair enough. 360 still has the shooters though.

atm I see PS3 as leader in that, depending how Alan Wake turns out (whenever that comes out) there could be a debate.

I agree with that as long as Xbox 360 claims "King of Fighters" and "King of First Person Shooters" status.

King of fighterS? Nope I dont think 360 wins that. PS3 has all the fighters and the perfect control for fighting games. 360 controller sucks for fighting games although it is good for shooters.

King of Fighters, barely. King of FPS's, I don't believe so. Sony has caught up with the help of Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 IMO. I think its pretty even now.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers suck for Fighting Games. 360 has more fighting games with more features and the such, thus, 360 is king of the fighters.

Taking a quick glance at Gamerankings, and the Xbox 360 has 20 AA or better FPSs... where as the PS3 only has 15.

And for fighters... PS3 has 5 AA or better games, where as the Xbox 360 has 6.

Take that however you want. :P

Quantity. PS3 and 360 share virtually every fighter this gen, but 360 has DOA exclusive so it wins be default.

Twisting the data in your favor. Who's to say AA is the minimum threashhold required to be counted? Why not AAA or A?

I think the D-pad makes PS3 the victor here. Now I know someone's going to say using an arcade stick makes this a nonissue, but not everyone has the luxury of purchasing a stick that's sever times greater in price than the value of a single game.

Dead or Alive is pretty awesome though. Should have made it a multiplat.

Of action games, perhaps. I wouldn't go as far as to say action-adventure though.

Wrong, God of War is action adventure. And God Of War makes ninja gaiden look like a joke.
