Wii not harcdore?

[facher83]

I think there are two scales to reference 'hardcore' or other levels of playing.

A. Hardcore being a reference point to 'how much do I play?'

B. Hardcore being a reference point to 'how much cooler are my games because (blah blah)?'


I would think some of the references from critics making severely misconceived statements towards Wii would probably be the latter-use. I've never understood the whole bashing 'fad' concept, nor does anyone else around here.

However, the A reference is probably the most accurate, yet it's such a interpretation and opinionated word it's hard to even adequately decipher what the phrase means.

"No plans. The Wii user isn't a hardcore user." -- This states reasoning B as a form of misconception, but in reality means A, yet the objective of the statement is far from correct, as plenty of hardcore, multi-platform owners own a Wii. So, most people are either misinformed, stupid(, or bribed).

(I don't know if the quote is real, but it was appropriate, so I spared the source as it's not relevant).

 

I should also note that a C reference exists, but it's next to never used, which would be the actual 'capacity' for a gamer to perform a task on a video game.  AKA, skill, mind and reflexes.  I consider myself those.
