Arcades vs. Platforms
#2
Depends on the game, mostly.

Fighting games (Street Fighter, Time Killers, Tekken) just feel wrong if you're using anything but a joystick - and even with a joystick-controller at home, there's something about the group of players huddled around the cabinet that just doesn't translate.

Shooters too only work in arcades IMO, since I've never played a decent home one (no, Duck Hunt does not count :P ), although I guess the right game with the right peripherals could be awesome on a 50" big screen.

The few arcade-based RPGs I've seen (actually, the only one I can think of now was an early Neo-Geo game) just bombed, so I don't think the console/PC demographic has much to worry about. :D
