That's not what diversity is. If it had 1 rpg that wouldnt be diversity. It would be 1 rpg.

Also the 3DS is not a console, and was not mentioned in the OP.

Also you again are only mentioning nintendo and not the other systems with your flawed argument.

It's not a bad argument. I was talking about games in general I was talking about Jrpgs.

Again, Mortal Kombat 1,2,3, Street Fighter 2, and Super Street Fighter 2, Clay Fighter 1, and Clay Fighter 2, are a few entries in popular fighting game franchises, I haven't even included other games and that already crushes the majority of the Jrpgs on the PSX, including the ones that many say are among the greatest.

This was the time period where fans of those games said it was the golden age. It was never an it genre. it's all an illusion, FF7 helped Square and some others and that was all it did, Jrpgs in general did not go anywhere, it mostly stayed similar or worse.

This is mainly a console thread.

Having pieces of things doens't make it diverse.

If the wii u had 20 platformers, 15 racing games, 17 action adventure games, 12 puzzle games, 14 fighting games, 17 shooters, that would be a diverse library.

BUTTTTT the Wii u has 35 platformers, 8 shooters, 4 rpgs, 15 action adventure games, 3 puzzle games, 8 racing games, and 3 fighting games. 4 when Pokken comes out.

23 FPS, 15 AA games, 10 racing games, 26 sports games.

Looks very similar to ending years of last gen to me.

Why are you only asking this for Nintendo and not the other systems? And if one genre is almost 50% of the library the rest of your point is moot for all 3 consoles.

Objectively: Xbox 360 for what it actually brought and changed through hardware and software direct and indirectly.

Objectively in terms of software: PS2, with its vast varied library.

Objectively Nostalgia: Neogeo.

SNES had good games.

You're fooling yourself the Wii U is no better than the Xbox one and PS4. The genres I listed for each are among the top for each system across Wii U, XBOXONE, and PS4

Life Is Strange is horribly told garbage with bad clunky gameplay when you find it and some conflict in the plot that doesn't make sense every 3 minutes. The ending was bad and doesn't make sense because nothing really changed to make the main issues of the game "stop" they just decide to pretend it did to end the game..

i thought I was playing a David Cage game.

@mesome713:

35 platformers, 8 shooters in general, 4 rpgs, 15 action adventure games.

It has the same problems as the other two consoles just opposite themes.

This gen for consoles has been.............lazy for lack of a better word.
