What is a harcore or avid gamer? You originally made your choice of PS3 model because you wanted the EE chip, right? Are you an avid gamer?

 


Someone like you and I. Someone who loves video games enough to play several hours a week. Someone who follows video game news on a daily/weekly basis and tries to be in the know. Someone who is well aware of sales and games coming out that may not be huge titles. I made my choice on a PS3 because I knew that Socom Confrontation was slated for later this year/ early next year. I knew I was going to buy it, it was just a matter of when.

I follow gaming news quite a bit, so I would be an avid and hardcore gamer. The EE chip was just a bonus, even though I really don't play many PS2 games on my system or really have a need to play them.


 I've already talked to those people. They are all getting a Wii for Christmas after playing Bowling and Tennis over at my house. Another is getting one for himself, his sister and his mother. At least half of them will get WiiFit as soon as it comes out. These people knew nothing about the videogames except they had heard about the Wii (Television/Newspapers). One of them played Super Mario Bros. on the Virtual Console and I think that's what sealed the deal for him. The kids could play WiiSports and he could try and finish Mario after a 20 year time out.
