I don't think you can claim that the Xbox is the "king of first person shooters" with a straight face if you're putting PC games in the contest. Clearly, the PC does First-person shooters much better than the Xbox does.

And yes, the Japanese market virtually ignores the Xbox, so the multitude of PS2 games released over there do dominate.

ya u are right about the pc also being very good with fps!

Only an idiot would say that the Xbox is better than the PC for FPS.

Sorry meant Xbox is the best Console FPS!!

And online is best on the xbox too for consoles!!

I don't know about RPG's either. I think Final Fantasy takes the cake in the RPG category, and they are PS2 specific developers (Square).

Xbox has all the good Western developed RPG's: KOTOR, Jade Empire, Sudeki, Morrowind, Fable, etc. Whereas Ps2 has the good Eastern developed RPG's such as Final Fantasy. I prefer Western Rpg's b/c they are all about choices, open endedness(not a word but oh well) and developing your character.

KotOR was open-ended? And you dont develop your characters in Final Fantasy?

Ya kotor was open ended!!!!!!!!!

Yea KotoR is pretty much open ended. And the best RPG of all time may I add. OK FFVII was pretty good too.

u got to remember the doom series, and perfect dark when they came they were like big and set a milestone in Fps games respect the classics man

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

Eh.
Yeah, the PC is the FPS king, there's no disputing that. But of the three consoles, I think so far the 360 has the most going for it in terms of FPSes.

Allow me to give you an updated version of what this post is about, just to see how far we've come:

PS3= Previous king of RPG's, future king of shooters.

Wii= King of "casual gamer" games.

Xbox 360= Previous king of shooters, future king of RPG's.

PC= King of strategy games.

PSP: King of handheld games.

DS: King of point-and-draw games.

Each platform has it's own unique place in the gaming world. There are a wide range of FPS game, some are ported where as others are designed exclusively for that platform.

This is going back quite some time now, but classics like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were games that were meant to be played on the N64 and wouldn't feel right on a pc. However games produced for PC like the classics Half Life and Doom, Return to castle Wolfenstein (baring in mind castle wolfenstein was the first ever fps to be created... correct me if im wrong!) these are games that feel right on a pc and dont feel great playing on console.

With games like HL1 and HL2 they have been ported over to consoles now and it's great to see that it's expanding the market in that respect but PC still is the best when it comes to FPS being produced origionally on PC.

I can't remember the last time consoles produced a good exclusive fps.... Rare attempted to get the nostalgia back for Perfect Dark Zero, but after Nintendo, it went down hill from there.

Hopefully we will see something revolutionary for the console industry!
