sorry mate i took what you said out of context, i completely agree with you the ps3 is console of choice for harcore gamers in on category, and the xbox 360 is the console of choice for hardcore gamers of another gategory, again my apologiesdelta3074
Its fine. No hard feelings, and in the end, its all about fun either way, hardcore or casual, so I am not even sure why we need a distinction, but people like it that way I guess.

What is your definition of "hardcore" and "casual"? whitetiger3521
That's the problem. Everyone has a different definition of what hardcore and casual mean, since there aren't any true definition of these two terms.

How is the PS3 casual when they make you pay for Blu Ray especially for those who don't even use it?

Well it's not like the PS3 comes with the option of having HD-DVD....bad comparison man. Sure the PS3 is more expensive but the 360 was just as expensive in its second year.

[QUOTE="AnObscureName"]Define hardcore and casual...Baurus_1

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.

No, hardcore gaming is not about how much time you spend playing games, it's about looking for depth, originality, story, etc, in the games you play, and not just what is "popular" (although many games do become popular because they are very good). Hardcore gaming is not about just looking for the cheapest console with the most games, but instead it's about looking at the quality of the games.

I thought hardcore was more about challenges, competitiveness, thats why the first ninja gaiden was considered hardcore

First of all, how much expensive a console is has nothing to do with hardcore or casual otherwise the 360 arcade would sell more than the Wii since it's cheaper and would appeal to the casuals, but that isn't the case now is it? Anyway I was just playing your little game.

You're surprised? Here fanboys talk graphics when they see it's convenient to their console. Same for sales, flops, gameplay etc...It's sad.

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.

Who agrees?

I think your post is flamebait, and a joke. Oh, and you are wrong.

Hardcore gamers buy more games for their consoles. The 360 attach rate is 2 times higher than the PS3 attach rate. Even in Japan, the 360 has the highest attach rate. And hardcore gamers do not play on PSN, they play on Xbox LIVE.

You spelled Wii wrong.Legendaryscmt
lol this user never picks the right fight. its always something sill that you notice lol. anyway, hardcore isn't defined by the system unless you mean PC, in which you have to be hardcore to learn to build a decent rig. Though you still can be a hardcore noob.

all oopinion each platform has its share of hardcore and casual titles to say the ps3 is the only hardcore system is flawed. look at lbp its a great game but it is definitely aimed more at the casual audience than the core gamers.

i think the 360 has more hardcore games than ps3. it also has more games in general, so of course it's going to have more casual games too.

It seems lacklustre sales are prompting cows to push the PS3 as some sort of high end device made purely for the hardcore. The 360 is selling well ergo it's purely for casuals. This thread is nonsense.

The PS3 has yet to amaze me, for the amount of games it has is limited, and none of them really interest me (with the exception of maybe "Little Big Planet" and some fighting games). Other than that, the PS3 is basically a failed system.

MGS4 would like a word with you.

He already did. Snake left the room weeping after I had let him play Gears of War 2.

yeah, he must have been weeping at how disapointing gears 2 is graphically compared to MGS4

Since I have played big games like LBP, MGS4, Gears 2, Crysis: Warhead and Far Cry 2 this year, I can enjoy laughing at all people stating that MGS4 has better graphics than Gears 2.

PS3 is getting better games now I can agree with but they are both targeted at the same people with a variety of games.
