PS3 is not a hardcore system. Wii is for casuals and 360 is for the hardcore, PS3 is a mixture. Here are some reasons why:
1. Little Big Planet will be a million seller. This game appeals to a very wide audience with its gameplay because of it iss simple, easy to learn, and fun. PERFECT CASUAL GAME.
2. It has THE best racing simulator (we all know what it is).
3. Jak and Dexter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper are all very popular platformers, which will sell at least a million a piece.
4. Debatable: It has THE best action/adventure franchise: God of War series.
5. It has THE best RPGs: Final Fantasy series/maybe kingdom hearts
6. It has one of the most popular fighting franchises: Tekken series
7. Has the best off-road series: Motorstorm.
8. Of course we all know that the Metal Gear Series is the best for stealth/action.
9. Shooters: Killzone 2, Resistance 2, and Socom are all very popular games that will sell well.
10. Debatable: best baseball game: MLB 08
In conclusion, PS3 is not just for hardcore gamers...it appeals to the casual and hardcore gamer crowd. As of right now, it may only display interest in the hardcore crowd, but in time with a pricecut, the audience will be amended for the medium of both types of gamers. The games that it has now and the upcoming titles in the future will apeal to everyone so that both crowds can relate to them.
P.S. Bet: PS3 2009 sales will equal Wii 2008 total WW sales.
