Me, I'm a Nintendo lover (They failed me) and a guy that jumped on Xbox 360 and went crazy over it. Just my preferences. I've always been a huge fan of BC ever since the PS2 days but I realize that my opinions don't represent the majority. I can only speak for me and I'm nowhere near the average gamer. I buy all of the consoles and sometimes buy the exact same game multiple times, for example. I wish it was possible to get a casual gamer to watch E3 and decide who won but that would be like getting a casual sports fan to tell you which team is the best. That Shenmue 3 thing....I played (and still own) the first two but they were available for two consoles that sold really poorly and didn't even sell very well to those guys! It blows my mind seeing people go crazy over it, now. I mean one guy was bragging about it and couldn't even spell it. He kept calling it "Shamue". Internet, man. It's a crazy place. |
hahahah, surely a crazy place. I have a friend that isn't exactly casual, but a mainstream gamer. He has a PS4, PS3 and Vita and usually play the most well know games. I would say that these guys are the majority. They aren't casuals (they buy a lot of games and play them as a hobby), but they won't play niche titles.
He only watched the Sony conference, so I will report only that. He was more excited about Uncharted, Star Wars and Final Fantasy. He liked Horizon too. He didn't knew the Shenmue series.
