Because one system has one game and another has another doesn't mean one is "hardcore" and one isn't. They're the same thing.


Problem is, just because of the fact that they're on another system and not the 360, none of those games will matter in the mind of him or any other rabid 360 fanboy.

Bungie could announce Halo 4 for the Wii TOMORROW and suddenly the xbots would start in about how Halo isn't a hardcore series and about how bad Halo 3 was and about how badly it'll suck on the Wii.

That's just how blind fanboy logic works. It basically boils down to "I've made a buying decision on a particular console and now I hate every other console."

I have all three and I've enjoyed games on all of them, but I understand that I'm a rarity in that regard. 


I never said some of those games aren't hardcore I'm just arguing with the people who think that third parties are going to suddenly switch the majority of their hardcore games from the PC/360/PS3 to the Wii.

I've heard this same song and dance three times already, the first was before E3 when people were claiming it was going to happen then, of course we were then greeted with lots of hardcore games for the PC/360/PS3.  Then it was going to be the Tokyo Game Show where all the huge announcements were going to be made, of course it didn't happen then either.  Then it was before the end of the year and now it's 2008.

But I tell you what, I'm willing to make a ban bet with you or anyone about the things I've mentioned.  Take Game Informer for instance, they make a World exclusive announcement for a new game every issue, mainly hardcore games.  I'm willing to bet that their February cover will feature either a 360/PS3/PC, 360/PS3, 360, PC, or PS3 game.  If anyone I argued with is so sure of a massive change then there should be no problem with them betting that Game Informer's next cover will feature an unannounced Wii game.  What people don't want to take that bet?  Hmm, how about March then?  No?  'Nuf said.
