hate to break it to to you but all console only gamers as casual gamers.

Consoles were invented so poor people could play games, it the same now.

Anyone with cash is a PC gamer, cutting edge takes cash, if you aint got it get a console, its the poor mans pc.

actually when consoles were invented they were only for hardcore gamers. That's why NES games are generally more difficult than games today. It was a slow slide, and nowmost games are easy, because they have to have a wider audience

Game like Contra were hardcore, but others like Super Mario Bros. are casual.

Wider audience = poeple that can deal with a complicated keyboard interface, thats why consoles were invented, it still holds true for the present time.

Haha, I remember Mario being sooooo hard. My dad and I got competitive and raced each other to see who could beat it first. It took months before one of us was successful.

You say that people who only play on consoles are casuals. The arguement you give is that consoles are for poor people. Wow, you've actually made a thread by throwing in unrelated BS with the point you're trying to make and fail to back up. Congrats.

Easy to back up, consoles are aimed at people that find gaming on pc's to compliated or expensive. Its not a difficult topic and easy to counter if you had the wit. its a shame really.

This is newcomer. He never saw old good PC games and think that modern PC crap are games.

Buying gaming PC today = just thrown in the window money

hold up there boss. u say consoles are invented so poor people can play games. and because there poor, there also casual gamers because of this? so only wealthy people can be hardcore gamers? then u go on to say that everyone with wads of cash all go out and get top of the line PCs? what if they dont like PCs? what if there petrol heads? im afraid i find ure logic flawed. perhaps you could explain in more detail?

also, as i see it, PC is probably the most widespread causal machine on the planet. sure it gets its crysises and its HL2s (to be honest the PC has a very wide and diverse selection of games though....its catalogue is massive) and it has the most powerful hardware available but more people play games like the sims and windows solitaire. look at top 10 chats for PC sales..theres usually 2-3 sims titles there somewhere. very very few people have 8800GTXs and quad core processors. have a look at the stats from steam. ull be surprised at the results.
