lmao... its really kind of funny, you know. People accuse the wii of being such a terribly casual system when in reality its the PS3.

PSN is free! all these casual online players just plug their PS3 online and there set... its a fact 360 gamers are the most skilled online players in the world, we take gaming seriously!!!

Bluray Player! sooo many people bought the PS3 as a bluray player and probably turn there PS3 on every once in a while to play games casually!!!

Brand Name! everyone knows who sony is. is this a bad thing? YES!!! little kids will buy a PS3 just for the brand name, and not only that but PS2 owners will likly want to upgrade to PS3!!!

there you have it the three reasons sony has the most casual console

I was kinda sarcastic, but that is kinda true too. Its not casual in the sense so Crysis, but is in the free games most PCs can run i.e BF heroes, etc.

1. PSN is free, Wii is free, most PC games (unless they are MMO's) are free online. I bet you PC gamers take gaming more seriously, many of them build their own freakin computers!

2. If Microsoft won the format wars, the 360 would be casual by your logic because HD DVD won. That didn't happen, so yea.

3. Brand loyalty doesn't just apply to Sony..

TC is right, it is a very casual system.

It just doesn't alienate the harder gamers for money and middle-aged house-wives and small families. >_>

...

IMO.

XBOX 360 is the casual system. I casually got an RROD. I casually sent it back to MS. They casually sent it back. It's casual procedure.

I pretty much agree that PS3 is a casual system...and I'm fine with that because I'm pretty much a casual gamer. I enjoy the Wii as well. I play games I like and spend time doing other things besides play games all day. It's great.

You're totally right. All this time playing my PS3 and I never realized it was a casual experience because I wasn't paying some useless fee to play online. Thanks for showing me the light bro. I'll be throwing my PS3 in the garbage tomorrow and go get a 360 tomorrow so I can pay for online like a real hardcore gamer

I never said it was. I was simply speaking about the topic. I think they are all equally casual systems.

Well sony makes more casual Buzz/Singstars for PS2/PS3/PSP than Nintendo makes at times

and it is heavily marketed as a BR for its early years but now really as a games console but you do see a lot of its marketing for BR movie playback

plus, adding features like netflix is only trying to expand your market more

things like Eyepet, the PS Wand are clear attempts to expand the PS3 market even more, heck why even invest in 3D? seriously 3D TVs that are 15inches cost like $1000 plus now.

You'd be a fool to think Sony doesn't want casuals and to expand their market

They spent 3 years putting a lot of resources into core games and they're still third place, barely making up ground on the Xbox 360/Wii

Why shouldn't they invest in the greater number of Consumers? The casuals.

Core gamers don't buy that many games anyway, no matter their quality.

Casuals on the other hand, are very impressionable. There is more casual gamers than core gamers

Sony seems to either make casual software or core software. don't see a whole lot aimed at pleasing everyone, which is something Nintendo is very good at

isn't PC the real casual system? I mean, they get games for $10 less! They obviously don't show the discipline that the ps3 has instilled upon us.

No, you mean the 360... you not only pay for the online, you pay for stuffthat should've been included with the console on the first place. Now, that's hardcore.

:P Yeah, I guess, since $599 is a one-time fee while $50 is per year. So we get disciplined every year. Just when we forget about it, SNAP, another year's worth of discipline for $50 :P

Not just that, but Flash Games, internet browser games, Solitaire, Minesweeper, and a whole plethora of Popcap and Gameloft games among others.

Uhh, don't like to think of myself as skilled in gaming, I put my status on recreation lol...I don't take gaming seriously either. Sony tries to be brand-name with their TVs, I could agree there it'll be the most casual if it can win over more grandmas and Hannah Montana fans though.

The TC makes sense. If you pay more for something it makes you better at that. So if I buy a deck of cards for $50 then I'm a pro at poker. Great logic.
