Keep on digging your grave. Now you're saying that core systems are about price? The NeoGeo, for example was aimed at bringing an arcade system to houses, it had nothing to do with enthusiasts, as most NeoGeo games were based on fighting (not to put down Samurai Shodown, one of the best out there). This is why it didn't lure many people in - limited genres of software. Cost has nothing to do with casual vs core, which was your intital post in the first place, a core and casual system for each gen. You're too young to remember, Im sure, but the initial market WAS casual only - Pong, ColecoVision, Atari 2600, Commodore 64. Nintendo took the industry into the more "core" gamer, and expanded that idea with the SNES. The PS1 took this core market into another idea, and the PS2 started blending core and casual. Nintendo embraced the younger gen with Pokemon with the N64, and the GC suffered because of coy Sony marketing that was tantamount to mudslinging in a political debate. Get your facts straight. buying Atari or colecovision was a huge expenditure and not something casually paid for. To help you understand how casual has at least something to do with price take this example. A casual drinker doesn't mind what he drinks too much, an enthusiast is willing to shell out more money for a more expensive drink. This does not mean that the expensive drink is better, just more expensive. The NES introduced affordable gaming. If you get a kid gloves, do you get them a nice 50$ pair, or a 3$ pair knowing that they are probably going to lose them anyway? In this statement are you trying to say ps2 introduced casual back into the equation. rofl. Your ability to defend your posts is lacking, as you resort to immature terms like calling people a baby, which in turn only proceeds to label yourself with such a terminology. Also, denying or having "voluntary amnesia" on past posts doesn't help you. You defended that earlier conversation about Windows Updater by saying that people do use it instead of a proper antivirus. I simply pointed out that your analogy to anti-cheat ware was improper as the categories used didn't share similar relationships. You went into a tirade in response, defending Windows Updater as a viable antivirus. If you were referring to Windows Defender, I might have been able to give you some credit, as it does (poorly) prevent malware/spyware, but not virii. No, I said that people don't use proper anti-virus protection because they think windows defender has them covered. Prove to me that that statement is false and you have an argument, but all you are doing is lording yourself over me. you have no point, other than SNES isn't casual which I agree. Except that it is more casual than Neo-Geo. To sum it up - power/cost does not equal core/enthusiast systems. The type of library specialized does. Actually it does, because you don't idly spend large sums of money on things that you aren't interested in while there is a much cheaper alternative. The SNES, which is the only area we seem to agree on, was considered very much as a "core" system, since it has had one of the most impressive RPG libraries on any console. The XB360 is the core system for this gen, with the amount of FPS games available for it. The N64 and PS1 were both core systems. The PS2, XBox and GC were all focused on the core market, tho the PS2 had a section for casuals. Your idea of core and casual and hardcore is very skewed. You seem to think core is just the games that appear on the system. With that logic, every system is core. (to their own market) It doesn't involve any comparison at all to other consoles and therefore it is just masturbation. Again, Im simply pointing out the incorrect posting you made, as you weren't around for the full history. You have some growing up to do before people are going to take you seriously. Eh hem, you are the one running around calling my posts dumb without reasoning other than opinion. good job. -- Oh, by the way, the GameCube was more powerful than the PS2, and was praised for better looking versions of the Lord of the Rings game than the PS2 or XB version by IGN and Gamespot. Kinda throws out your concept on casual systems. It was the cheaper system, and was aimed at kids. This "conversation" is useless. All you care about is being right.
