Disagree, PS3 can be used both as a hardcore machine and a machine to play with your friends. All you need is the PS3.

Yes, PS3 has loads of easily accessible local four-player games. Such as... er... um... ???

 

Singstar..

buzz...

Warhawk?

Heck even Call of duty..

wow dude

On topic:

No, it wouldnt, because the PS3 is casual and hardcore, wii is just casual.

 

How can a console be casual?  hell how can it be hardcore.  Casual and hardcore are generally defined by either play time when describing a person or content when describing a thing in gaming.  But consoles play games.  Wouldn't that make them simply gaming machines.  I wouldn't even know how to differentiate between which is hardcore or which is casual by the features they have.

Are any of those games easily learned and locally playable with four simultaneous users? Buzz, perhaps, but not in North America...

Better I suppose. I guess it's better to understand why you don't like something rather than throw out labels.

Aw come on, don't ask him these questions like you expect actual, well reasoned responses.

Sorry next time I see something like that I'll assume the worst instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt because that'll obviously help the situation.[/sarcasm]

FPS listed as an easy to pick-up and enjoy game... The PS3 has casual 4 player games, but Warhawk and CoD4 ain't on that list.

 @OP

 I disagree completely. Every console offers a variety of single and multiplayer aspects. A consoles appeal can only be measured in specific games that appeal to that person. It is entirely possible for a hardcore gamer to be satisfied with only the single player games offered by the Wii. It is possible for a casual party gamer only to be satisfied with the party game options of the 360/PS3. Projecting your own wants and desires on others is a terrible way to predict what "people" want.

Not interested. When I have a bunch of people over, we'd be too drunk to play any games. And frankly, I wouldn't let any of them touch my gaming system in the first place.

 

I don't buy a gaming console to please other people, I buy them for my own enjoyment

 

wow...I hear Wii hate?

^_^'' I only need a Wii though...I have enough games on both my Wii and DS to keep me quite busy..

 

How is that Wii hate? More of against the idea posted by OP that you somehow need a system to "entertain" your friends with.
