In your opinion, which is worthless to the rest of us. Try it if you wish. It has nothing to do with my standards. Yes it does... I've had this argument with Michael before showing him how even adding Move titles to Sony's arsenal could make arguing about the consoles titles even less in anyones favor who argues towards Microsoft. Yes, its preference, but lets be real here, look at the strength of the library as a whole. Once again, your opinion and completely worthless. To be truthful I'd rather keep casual titles out of the argument because those arent the true games which give a console lasting value. LMAO, Now I know you are full of crap. If casual titles didn't sell consoles, then why is the Wii doing so well? Why is Move and Kinect selling like mad? When most of us on this site talk about games which will grab gamers attention, AAA exclusives are usually the titles we focus on. I've become accustomed to it, hence why we tend to ignore the casual by default, because on gamer sites like this, you can call 99% of us core gamers. E3 was mainly viewed by core gamers, which is why Microsofts showing was considered the most underwhelming. If it was viewed mostly by the general public who could only give a care about gaming in passing then Microsofts show would be an A+. Secondly, as i've said before in other posts, for Microsoft to assume there is a core market (for Kinect) is quite risky as the kinect has only been around a year and only garnered true value around one franchise (which shows you truthfully where your market is stemming from). Yet it continues to sell well. MS made a smart move with Kinect. And putting more support behind it will only serve to boost the sales numbers of both Kinect units, and 360s. Core gamers tend to waver to titles with stable or complex control schemes. Casual titles gather people who dont really game and give them momentary pleasure, whilst the core titles can have lasting effects and change the core gamers impression of system A, B or C via their exclusives. Yet, core gamers make up a small percentage of todays gamers, this may have been true in the past, but this is 2011, grandma is gaming with her grandchildren now. Casual titles are a passing glance if any. It's like going to universal studios. Oh yes....I forgot....you can now go to the Disney theme park with kinect on a rail. If you view AAA titles and casual titles as equal...then as erroneous as I believe that is, it's still your opinion and I cannot change that. Once again, you are living in 2003, the demographics have changed drastically with core gamers making up a much smaller percentage of total gamers. Your whole argument is utterly useless now. |
