What do you think is the ranks of gaming?

Mobile, PC, Console, Board, Card, Role Play, and any other kind I've missed (that can't be categorized in the afore mentioned).

For example, I think most of us can agree Mobile Gaming is at (or at least near) the bottom ranking. Not looking for an argument, just an opinion.

What might be the second lowest? The type of gaming just above Mobile? Do you think Mobile is a rung higher? Then which one is at bottom?

Obviously some games are superior to others regardless of what category they fall into. But let's try ranking them on a whole.

Personal ranking:
1. RPG
2. PC
3. Console
4. Board/Card (Tied)
5. Mobile

I used to be a game developer and it's always easier on a static platform like a console. You can exploit the hardware because everyone has the same hardware. But equally, if you develop for a mixed format like PC, you anticipate future technology advances and allow your games to specify. That specificity puts PC ahead of Console for me, which is pretty much what you seem to think too. If consoles came in enough specs (which they don't) maybe I'd change my mind.

@GlassDog That's really insightful. Thanks.

You haven't included any games that involve going outside. There are many variations on the game of 'ball' for example. Some of them are popular enough to have their own championships.

@Thodsis If only I anticipated my imperfect knowledge and said something like "and any other kind I've missed". Oh, wait a minute.

@SW-User I just thought I'd mention an option that could rank lower than mobile games.
