No, that's just the route they have to take now.

Exactly like with the whole 'Oh we want Move to appeal to REAL gamers' blah blah blah. Because they had no other choice. Their whole strategy makes them appear to like gamers, but all the big 3 are the same, if Sony could have swapped with Nintendo at the height of the Wii they would have in a heartbeat.


LOL There is zero proof of this. Of course every business wants profit so they will do what it takes to get it, but obviously Sony showed the least heart in marketing to casuals and the most heart when proving themselves as the true gaming system. Who had the marketing commercial paying homage to gamers? Sony. Who has the least casual friendly peripherals? Sony. Who has the most first and second party games? Sony. Thats just how it goes. Microsoft only attributes itself to casuals and online and Nintendo attributes itself to casuals and nostalgia titles this gen. Its most hardcore titles are all third party, but I love myself some Zelda and Super Smash Bros (Thats called nostalgia).

What the hell does this mean? True gaming system. MS extending their appeal to more than just the core gamers means 360 isn't a 'true gaming system'?

Hardcore/Core gamers aren't the only gamers in the market despite some of you trying to convince yourselves other-wise.

I bet Sony would have loved PS3 to be more like PS2 was where they attracted not just core gamers but casual gamers as well and made them so hugely successful. I guess PS2 wasn't a 'true' gaming system.

And lol at nintendo = casuals and nostalgia.

Some of you self-proclaimed 'hardcores' are such a joke sometimes.

 

1. True gaming system= most varied library and applies more games that give  the most experiences  and less shovelware.

2. Hardcore gamers aren't the majority in the market, but they are what keeps the everything going when the casuals dont give a damn (which is most of the time)

3. The PS2 was a console dedicated to gaming and less politics which Nintendo had issues with third parties last gen and Microsoft couldnt get enough games to come out.

4. Name a console which has games that have nostalgia written all over them. If it isn't Nintendo, I dont know who it is.
