| arcelonious said: I think the massive popularity of the FPS genre and the 360 having Halo and some form of Call of Duty exclusivity are also at play here. The definition of a core gamer is still rather nebulous (it's more of a minimum value, rather than a range), and there are likely several factors at play here, making it difficult to determine whether a platform has more core gamers simply based on attach rate alone. |
One thing I really disagree with here. I would say "core" is definitely a range over a minimum, because there is no concrete point where a person converts from casual to core. It's more of a spectrum with one end being casual and one end being core. Some people can be ultra casual (barely activating their consoles), ultra core (buying a new games every week, playing 8 hours a day, whatever your definition is), but most people are in between, with varying degrees of casusl-ness/corn-ness
