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?

Bu-bu-but it pleases the (shrinking) fanbase! Companies exist solely to make me personally happy, and when one shuts down another will simply take its place!

 

 

Xbox 360 is tracking to beat the original Xbox. The hardcore is growing. PS2 had alot of casual gamers that Wii is syphoning. The industry is grwoing, both casual and hardcore.
