I voted Console RPG because they comprise the largest part of my collection, but again you need to use catch-all categories.
Such as perhaps:
Any/All RPGs
Any Combat (Wargames, FPS, RTS, Action)

PC and Console RPGs are such different beasts, though. Traditionally console RPGs are about putting more emphasis on gameplay and story telling while PC RPGs are about immersion, interactivity and open-endedness.
Several current/next generation games began to blur the distinction, but none of them were even remotely considered console RPGS. Games like Star Wars KOTOR, Jade Empire, Morrowind, Oblivion and Fable were all on consoles, but were distinctively PC RPGs. The Xbox had all these RPGs, but lacked console RPGs like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, etc. Huge difference. I don't play much in the way of traditional console RPGs anymore, but all those I listed I own or played for Xbox/360.
As for wargames, yeah. Again, a catch-all could work...A lot of people will play a FPS because its WWII, but would never go near System Shock or Doom, the sci-fi based FPS. I will work that into the next round of surveys.

They may be different beasts, but I still play them all. As do many other hard core RPG players I pal around with. I own every Final Fantasy game ever made except 11. Period. Even JP only ones. However, I prefer Secret of Mana, Evermore, and Gaia better  just cause they are wacked. Still, the best RPG of all time is Chrono Trigger. I of course liked the sequel, Chrono Cross, almost as much... but dayum a time travel RPG just kicks tail.

Case in point. Me. I normally don't play FPS shooters.... but I play all the Medal of Honor games, and SOCOM I & II, and Ghost Recon.
Because they are wargames

Aww... I wanted to like those RPGs to the fact that they exist only on microsoft consoles, but you beat me to it.
Again, my vote is for online RPGs, but I do have my fair share of other genres that I play.
FPS (Halflife 2 and Halo)
Console RPG ( Grandia 3, Kingdom Hearts)
Action (Saint's Row, couldn't be bothered with GTA)
Plus Lego Star Wars. Not sure where it fits in...

Witht he exception of Jade Empire all those XBox RPGs were on the PC actually. And Jade Empire is coming soon to PC with better graphics, gameplay, etc (it had better, its 3 years old now...)
