I disagree...

it isnt ridiuclous to say the wii is less hardcore than the 360 or PS3 because it is less hardcore in my opinion.

You are ridiculous.

In my opinion.

why?  i had a reason for this report being ridiculous. 

so waht makes 360 more hardcore then the Wii?

I dont actually like the tags hardcore and casual, but this article started it so....

Whilst it is true to say all consoles will have hardcore gamers playing them and hardcore games on them, the 360 and PS3 will have more hardcore games and gamers due to a number of factors thus we can call them more hardcore consoles, couple of points could be......

1.  the biggest selling games and most of its fans prefer what would commonly be caledl hardcore games. 

2. online gaming, with tournaments, clans etc etc

now, at the other guy, why am i ridiculous....  or was it a knee jerk throw away insult?

 

1. the biggest selling games are mostly on Wii and you cant get more hardcore then Mario kart (even it it is also a casula experience), NSMB is as hardcore as it gets.

2. Has nothing to do with hardcore, a game and a console can and is hardcore with out online even if I prefer to have it as a compliment to my hardcore needs. The tournament part is lacking but its somewhat there in Mario kart but it clearly needs lots of improvement.

 

Edit: I dont like the labels either but a true harcore gamer will have a HD and a Wii or he isnt a true hardcore gamer.
