and since when does the truth matter? its all about perceptions or what people percieve to be reality which in many situations is not the truth... for example when people say that the nintendo wii has become a kid friendly console with no "mature offerings" now we both know thats nonsense but its still a common misconception... the same applies to pc gaming many people believe the things i stated regardless of if they are true or not


Truth matters a lot when it comes to "Hardcore enthusiasts".

If somebody believes the above... then they clearly aren't hardcore enthusists... and are in fact willing to give up graphics and other such things.


Enthusiasts are people who know about the product they enjoy.

so a hardcore gamer only cares about graphics?

"and other such things"

Hardcore gamers care about being informed... what you care about varies quite a bit... but if your giving up on what you value because you haven't bothered to be informed... you are no enthusist and you aren't hardcore.

It's the difference between someone who leanrs about the different pros and cons of various tvs... and the person who goes into the store and buys the most expensive sony TV he sees. 

One person wants the best... the other wants to get something they think they will like without much hassel.

You could have Hardcore tv people who are real enthusiasts being forced to choose between a couple different kinds of mid range  Visios cause they can't afford the high end stuff... such people are still far more hardcore then just someone who buys an expensive tv.

 

Hardcore is about attitude.
