With the increasing of detected exoplanet samples, the statistical properties of planet systems become much clear. In this review, we summarize the major statistics that are revealed mainly by radial velocity and transiting observations, and try to interpret them within the scope of the classical core-accretion scenario of planet formation, especially on the formation of different orbital architectures for planet systems around main sequence stars. Based on the possible different formation routines for different planet systems, we tentatively classify they into three major catalogues: hot Jupiter system, standard system and distance-giant planet systems. The standard system can be further categorized into three sub-types under different circumstances: solar-like system, hot Super-Earth system, sub-giant planet system. We also review the planet detection and formation theory in binary systems as well as planets in star clusters.
