Sony first party devs pretty much own the industry.

They pump out quality game after game - new IPS, sequals with innovation. On top of their own list of things, they also contribute to alot of multiplat games by helping third party teams come out with quality multiplats. This arsenal of devs cant be matched with the likes of microsoft. They dont even have bungie anymore, and the only things in development are natal prototype games which are first generation and lackluster when compared to what ps3 has. When will microsoft invest some money in creating the foundation of what is required for quality games, DEVS?

I wouldn't go that far.

They certainly didn't set the trend for FPS games, RTS games, TBS games, Survival Horror, Simulators, Adventure,City Builders, RPGs, hack n slash, etc etc you see where I'm going with this.

Platformers, and action-adventure? Yeah, they helped a crap load especially with platformers.

The trendsetting I was talking about was more in terms of gameplay mechanisms (Z targetting, 3D camera control, saving your game etc), but yes, I won't argue that every genre was broken into by them, that would be foolish. However, whenever Nintendo has made a game in any genre (and I think it has made a game in each of them now), the game has usually been top notch.

No doubt.

I particularly think Nintendo is about the only competent RPG dev in Japan. I've yet to see an RPG from Nintendo that sucked, and while other devs in Japan make good JRPGs every so often a lot of them suck.

Same goes for TBS. Famicom/Advance Wars, and Fire Emblem beat out practically any other game of the genre coming from Japan. I personally think the west is far far better at them than Nintendo though. Games like Civilization basically created the phrase "just one more turn".

But regardless Nintendo's games always have that spark that just makes you glad you're playing it.

I'm thinking that the only Genre Nintendo hasn't made a game in is MMO.
