You voted for Nintendo to abandon hardcore gamers so they could make some more money. Hilarious really.

The general consensus is that the 360 and PS3 are systems for hardcore gamers.

Microsoft's H&E division: approximately $2.5 billion in losses since launch of the 360.
Sony's gaming division: approximately $3 billion in losses since launch of the PS3.

Does it make sense to cater to hardcore gamers?

I don't care if they lose money, it's not mine. I want hardcore games.

I understand that. But how long do you think will companies continue to make hardcore games first and foremost if that is what they get?

 

When Sony put the PS3 on the market there were 2 things they wanted to reach.

1) Becoming the marketleader.
2) Make Blu ray succesfull and defeat HD DVD.

1) Looks impossible now.
2) If Blu Ray becomes the next DVD they are gong to laugh with the 3 Billion they lost now.

 

And you think they still can attract many casuals to X360 and PS3 with the Ultimate Casual Wii system?
