Yup and most Hardcore Gamers are on Xbox 360 playing on Xbox Live and NOT on Psn.

Ps3 players = living of brand name

Xbox players = Hardcore guys that spend 24/7 on a game they want to be good, thats why only Xbox enters in Pro Competitions like MLG, ESL and more... Ps3 is left in the Dust.

Pc Players = Most Hardcore guys on the freaking Planet.

So Xbox is in the middle, Ps3 cant be hardcore with that online and ZERO competition around the globe and Pc is a true hardcore platform.

Microsoft did right in turn their focus to Casual Audience, Hardcore Gamers are a niche these days, there are alot but Casual Gamers are gazilions.

LOL This is as inaccurate as can get. Halo, COD and Gears are tourney games. The only two 360 games are Halo and Gears and COD is because of system preference, it has nothing to do with the most hardcore guys. The reason the tournaments exist are because the 360 has the best tourney friendly FPS and TPS, thats it. Sony could flip the script next gen just as easily as Microsoft if they get top notch tourney level shooter, plain and simple.

Gametrailers and numerous gaming websites who review and count games made has deemed Sony pretty much the last hope of core games for the gen or the hardcore gamers platform plenty of times before. The 360 ended the gen as the Halo, Gears and better to play multiplatform games on console.

What a condescending article.

"Leaving Sony as the sole console developer to tend to hardcore gamers now."

If Sony wants them, Sony can have them. From my experience self-described hardcore gamers are immature, parochial, and elitist.


lol that gave me a good laugh



o_O.Q on 04 April 2013

personally i think the whole casual/hardcore terminology is a joke

however, its funny though that many of those that keep bashing the terminology saying that hardcore gamers are elitist or whatever...

in some instances can be seen making the claim that there's nothing on ps3/360 to play other than shooters and deriding the people who play shooters in the same manner as the people who identify with being "hardcore" are criticised for doing to "casuals"

Leave it to Somini to find the worst articles on the internet.

Well back to playing BattleBlock Theater


Why because it doesn't praise ms?



First off i agree with Veknoid.

Second off, no. It is poorly written and ignores many facts inlcuding that the casual market has paid off not to mention that MSFT and Nintendo also has a heavy harcore crowd.  Then they ignore that Sony has tried with casuals as well but hey the move doesnt exist right ;)  in fact the new PS eye for PS4 doesnt exist right?  Lets just ignore that kinect and the Wiimote has been succerssful. Lets also ignore that MSFT and Nintendo hardcore titles has been a raging success.  Oh and lets also ignore that 3rd party has also sold better on the X360 and Nintendo.  Lets just ignore facts and voice our opinions as if they were facts.

And that is why. Somini is starting to be well known on this site for putting out poorly written opinion pieces and overly negative articles in the last few weeks.  maybe he should write his own instead of searching for them.


Look in the mirror, some of your threads have been horrendous.

Out of the 600 threads Ive made they are far and few.  My biggest problem has been making duplicates.  I could go through his threads adn at least pick 5 to 10 on his first page.

Sony has never let me down. I don't expect them to start now.
Btw, what the hell is a hardcore gamer anyway? It sounds intimidating like they own every game ever made.

Ah, so THAT'S why Sony's success has gone down lately..

Exactly. This is the reason i don't take him rseriously. He claims to be neutral, because he has multiple consoles and plays some PS3 games and have SOME positive views on Sony's games. What a charade!!

He's not fooling anyone.

No charade.  And I certainly dont go around looking for negative articles about the PS3 or PS4.  When I say I like something I mean it, when I say I dont lke something I mean it.  Plenty of people look at me as a multi console user and others like you look at me as an Xbox user.  Either way i play games because they are games and not for some loyalty to a console, and whether you believe me or not Ill continue to have fun with them.

And as far as Sentinial goes,  look through my threads and find all of these horrendous articles.  If i wanted to be like you id just type into google or bing why one of the big 3 is a failure and then id post it.  In fact I go to google/Bing everyday and look for the news for PS4/NeXbox and I skip over tons of negative articles for both because we dont need poorly written garbage on this site.  But you continue
