| GamerExclusive said: Yep we gamers have a market to ourselves, well were taking Japan too, as much as people here wont admit it. See theres a clear disconnect, the PS2 gamers graduated to more hardcore games, this isnt happening this gen as 70% of Wii owners were previous PS2 owners. So yeah, this generation we celebrate a game crawling to a million, back in those days, it was common place. Hopefully we gamers can hold on for the next few years and get the generation into the swing that we had in the PSone and PS2 days. I wouldnt worry though, you guys are going to move onto Apple, there will be minimal heartache. = ) |
PS1 and PS2 had a large casual game base which made both a huge success. This generation Nintendo's Wii is the casual games console which picked up the lion's share of the casual gamer market. The loyal/hardcore gamers apparently spend more time and money on gaming and buy more games than casual gamers.
Hardcore/loyal gamers are fan bases of all three: Wii, X360 and PS3. The game to console attach ratios indicate that the 360 has the most dedicated fan base who on average buy more games. Highest game attach rate is on the 360. The 360 could be regarded as the most hardcore games console with its highest game to console attach ratio.
