As for Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess - both are established, respected amd highly hyped brands that appealed to Nintendo fans - hence all those went out to buy then, plus both feature bright colourful, cartoon like characters/graphics hence appeal to the casual market more than gritty, adult, blood and guts FPS's.

The label for "gritty, adult, blood and guts" is not "hardcore," it is "Mature" and it is provided by the ESRB.

This topic lacks intelligent discourse.  I give it two funny Pikachu hats out of five.


OK, far point. Forget the "adult, blood and guts" part, my original point still stands - that FPS are more of a genre that appeal to 'hardcore' gamers.



I am largely platform agnostic. I fail to understand why some people get overly fanboyish about what is an inanimate piece of electronics that's obsolete even before it's launched, when there are far more important things to champion, such as preventing environmental destruction or preventing millions of people dying unnecessarily from illnesses. This fact however, doesn’t mean I am not someone who doesn’t enjoy gaming as a pastime (as I have done for the last 20 years) or doesn’t have a strong interest in how the market is evolving – hence my presence on this site.

Platforms owned – PC, DS, X-Box 360, PS3, PSP and Wii.
