| oniyide said: @ forest-spirit way to miss the point, those Wii Fit players wouldnt know a Duke Nukem from a Master Cheif (nothing wrong with that) those are not video game players I put WII gamers in 3 categories casuals (my girlfriend, aunty, grandma who have never touched a controller, ever) gamers (me, i like games in general, all genres) and hardcore/fanboys(eat, breath, suck off Nintendo) the casuals make up 60% of WII audience, 30% gamers, 10% hardcore. (understand, im not trying to put anyone down for playing those games, but Wii FIt is geared toward a specific audience, its like the new exercise bike) |
Actually I can understand why various people find the casual and core terms flawed as this is determined by habits not by the games you buy, I know people who play games like Wiiports Resorts quite frequently and buy such games quite often as well as people who buy the odd game every now and then which sometimes are your COD MW2s and only play it once in a while. Effectively this makes the Wiisports player more core then the latter, a game may be geared towards a specific audience but it doesn't mean that only a casual will buy and play it.
Being core has nothing really to do with knowing your Halo's or Duke Nukems it's more down to gaming habits, you can be core and strictly enjoy more casual games tbh, you can be classed as casual even if you're only playing Halo and such because your gaming habits are quite light.
