I have 360 and have played PS Triple on several occasions and I can't find a reason to ever buy a PS3. To me, it goes like this:

PS3: Casual gamers
360: Hardcore gamers
Wii: Casual gamers/Younger gamers

How is the PS3 just for casual gamers? I mean all those systems can be for hardcore or casual gamers. The PS3 and 360 share so many multiplats that outside of 1st party exclusives and the rare 3rd party exclusive they almost the same. The Wii.....well it does have some hardcore games, just not many.

Hahahahaha

Play Resistance 2, Or better God Of War III when it's out, And you will get that 'casual' stuff you are looking for

I

'd.

What's so hardcore about Gears and Halo? Because I can't find 360 EXCLUSIVES that are for 'Hardcore' gamers.
If you mean with Hardcore gamers underaged kids playing Halo then you're right (It's true, when I used to play Halo 3 with a friend I heard a lot of them)

Explain it to me pl0x, The 360 and PS3 share 70% of it's games.
Having played the PS3 on several occasions ain't enough if you think that console is for casual gamers.
The Xbox and PS3 are just the same, You just need to pick the one to your likings.

(Sends Xbox 360 to Microsoft for repairs...

For the 3rd time)

Ya ill have to agree there, i dont consider xbox360 a hardcore console and ps3 a casual console but to be fair i dont see ps3 as a hardcore console either, if they are to be judged by their exclusives then most on ps3 are shooters or hack and slash games. Rpgs are usually the "hardcore" genre due to the amount of time they require and the way they are played but none of them is truly strong in that aspect either, if any the xbox has about 2 or 3 more exclusives there like tales of vesperia and infinite undiscovery? so... ya not quite the argument.

I didn't mean that every PS3 gamer is casual, or every Xbox gamer is hardcore. I'm just stating my opinion, thats all. Didn't mean for anyone to get offended.

I guess I meant to say that there seems to be more competitive gamers on 360 in the first place. :/ But again, thats just my opinion. I've only sent my Xbox for repairs once btw and have had it for a couple of years now. I'm not even sure why you brought that up... That was very trollish of you.

I'm confused, what's you're Defenition of "Casual"

from what I've seen, CASUAL games are games like tetris, or Bejeweled, or something.

I Didn't know halo wasn't Hardcore, I mean, what, they only have the LARGEST competitive scene in the world followed by Super Smash Bros.

I guess those people that play professional are all super casj.

Didn't ment to...... seriously, but while we were at it I just typed that in

It's true, It had a Laser faillure.

I am not offended, but that opinion is't based on much. I don't see how you can say there are more competitive ppl on the 360. You have to understand that there are more 360s than PS3s, so there would be more ppl and due to this, it might seem that way. The PS3's target audience is exactly the same as the 360s. Basically why do you think there are more casual gamers on the PS3 when the target audience is the same as the 360 and when they share

of the hardcore games and while Sony itself is making hardcore games like God of War 3 and Killzone 2. Wouldn't they make more casual games for their many casual gamers?

No quite what hardcore or casual stand for, market wise hardcore are people whose main form of entertainment are videogames and are capable of easily putting 100 hours into a game and/or 3-4 hours of game a day. Casual would be peeps who only see videogames as an alternative to their many other forms of entertainment and put a couple of hours a week or so AND, very importantly, play mostly very comercial very known and very simple games, because of this the more massive a game is the less hardcore; so ya thats halo, gow, gears of war, uncharted, mario, rockband/hero/whatever; all are massively played and simple for anyone unfamiliar with videogames to just pick and play.

YET even these games have hardcore players as you correctly mention but hey how else can we explain things if we dont generalize.

Okaaay then.

So I guess I'm "Hardcore" then. No surprise really.... However, I don't think I've ever played a game that took me 100 hours to beat.

edited, nevermind.

vyn · « **Reply #59 on:** March 11, 2010, 08:04:59 PM »

No game has taken me 100 hours to beat either but to get to 100% hell yes, valkyirie profile just took me like 130, damn perfect relases...

-Whiplash- · « **Reply #60 on:** March 11, 2010, 08:10:20 PM »

the longest it's ever takin me to get 100% on an RPG was kotor, which took me about 48 hours.

of course, if you include all my other play throughs, (Over several years) I've easily played for over 200 hours, took me a while to get it right.

Yung Kratos · « **Reply #61 on:** March 11, 2010, 10:51:39 PM »

ive put about 500 hours between different characters on oblivion(360 version might i add) little known fact aswell call of duty is actually a casual title

vyn · « **Reply #62 on:** March 11, 2010, 11:29:46 PM »

nah, any shooter is casual, and the most popular of the arcades certainly is

Final fantasy is a casual game now though, thats a bit of a shocker maybe

Nilakantha · « **Reply #63 on:** March 12, 2010, 01:49:42 AM »

I wouldn't put Final Fantasy as casual unless you are referring to the handheld Final Fantasys. Final Fantasys are not pick up and play games that children can play. Casual games to me would be games that do not require much thinking or effort at all. Games that you play with the family.

I really like the xbox 360. So that one gets my vote. But really I find playing mario kart with my buds wayyy better then playing any racing game on the ps3 or the xbox.

DEMONKAI · « **Reply #65 on:** March 12, 2010, 05:35:31 PM »

For now the 360 is doing it for me. It seems they have more exclusives and games that keep dropping and are hardly pushed back at all. The only games that caught my attention on ps3 were GOW3. metal gear solid 4 and demons souls. Ive Been a sony fan since ps1 and still have my ps2 and still get imports for it. i have more sony games than 360 and thats a lot of 360 games.

360s online experience is way more fun. too many people & too many friends. i have a lot of friends who have both and they always play the 360 more and have less games for the ps3. I only have one friend who loves ps3 and the only games hes crazy for is call of duty and the upcoming Gow3. Thats not a lot.

I mean to each their own but at the end of the day The ps3 has the better essentials like the controller (for fighting games) and its FREE. But the 360 "In my opinion" has the the better hardcore experience in "gamer fun".

,,,,,and for the record they "both" have failure issues. My hardcore sony friend took his back 3 times already...so thats my two cents
