Probably 360 cause it has Halo and more Call of Duty players. PS3 is a close second.

I'm shocked that the PC is dead last, seriously shocked.

Let's see. I believe I'm "hardcore" and I prefer the Wii, which means that for atleast one hardcore gamer the Wii is the way to go.

Despite having voted for PC, I find your opinion totally legit. Even without delving into the aspects of Wii gaming, there is first the fact that hardcore approach belongs more to the gamer than to the console and there's also the fact that Wii's perfect tailoring of gamas and input devices to each other is indeed a very hardcore thing, often wrongly considered only casual just because it happens to be tailored also to casual gamers. OTOH, despite liking some of its games, I hate so much PSP controls that I could even consider it tailored to the masochistic side of old style hardcore gamers.

What on Earth is a "hardcore gamer"? Apples have hard cores. So an Apple gamer would choose the iPhone, which isn't even an option.

What a strange poll.

Sir, you have just made the most awesome argument ever. Go get yourself a beer.

My name is blubeard because rosie has a blue beard. Just not on her chest.

It depends. If you mean "hardcore gamers" that play online, then it has to be the 360.

If you are hardcore about specific Genre's then different consoles can be your console of choice for those types of games. However if you are just a hardcore gamer into all types of games that I don't believe any consoles offers nearly as much diversity as the PS3 does. The PC used to hold the crown but not anymore. They are only dominant in a few genre's and completely lack support for many other genre's.
