Seriously though. Ever since the beginning of 2008, PS3 has had the better exclusives with better graphics, whereas the only thing the 360 has going for it is the lower price. Multiplats are absolutely equal for both consoles. And of course the PS3 has always had much more reliable hardware. So, worse exclusives + lower price console = 360 = more for casual gamers.

While I think both can offer a hardcore (Warhawk, Rasistance 2/too many games to count) and casual (LBP/XBLA) experience, I think you've got it the wrong way around.

There are hardcore games on every console. It's your opinion that ps3 has better exclusives and with better graphics. In my opinion I think the PC and 360 are the most hardcore. Does that make my opinion the best one? No, because it is an opinion.... not a fact. Money has nothing to do with a console being hardcore. If you think just because something costs more money that it's better.... than your a tool.

Well the original Uncharted is still the best looking PS3 game to date.

And no, 360 isn't casual, and yes this thread is lame. Same fanboyism, no facts/proof...typical trolling.

I'm a hardcore gamer, and I prefer Xbox 360 to PS3, so therefore, Xbox 360 > PS3 when it comes to hardcore-ness.

Status after another ignorant person: unchanged. Gears of War 2 is the graphics king on consoles as of now. Deal with it. And be happy with Killzone 2 until another game comes out months after and trumps Killzone 2. This is now. It's Gears of War 2.

The way i see it: 360 - Harcore (evident by the software sales) Wii - Casuals, and old people :P PS3 - Hardcore Sony and PS2 fans?? Last 2 gens, Sony had BOTH, thats why they won so easily, this gen, the Wii changed everything, casuals no longer go to the playstation brand, and Sony basically GAVE MS the hardcore (i have to admit microsoft did a good job seizing open opourtunity) by the high price point, and taking so long to get a good library.

Define hardcore and casual...AnObscureName

Easy!

Casual Gamers don't spend a good portion of their life playing video games

Hardcore Gamers do.

Accessibility is a different issue. Casual gamers don't neccesarily have to suck at games. I think the media has this wrong. The WII is as accessible to Casual gamers as the PS3.

However, the Wii is more accessible to Begginer gamers then the PS3 is. I think we should start defining by accessibility to begginers and advanced gamers.

The X360 is probably more accessible to Begginer gamers then the PS3 just due to its more well known software library. However, I don't think its a huge difference.

The Wii and DS cater to a WIDE range of gaming abilities and needs. The x360, PS3, and PC narrow down the niches.

hardcoreGAMER one promotes a video service and one is promoting games. Gears2>uncharted>>gears1>mgs4 uncharted was the console graphics king until gears of war2 came out. Althoght the graphics on mgs4 are good they're not the greatest.

ps3 and 360 are hardcore...wii is casual...planbfreak4eva

Nope, all platforms are casual.
No gaming company wants to limit their amount of consumers by only appealing to the smaller demographic.

Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft offer casual consoles and then each offer varying incentives to the "hardcore" audience.
It's the number of incentives which is continuously debated, for whatever reason.

While I think the 360 has more casual appeal, a consoles' 'hardcore-ness' is ultimately dictated by the gamer.

Neither. Both are fine for both hardcores and casuals. You just need to learn to wait longer for games on the PS3...
