Forums - Gaming - PS3 owners more likely to be artistic adults

I hope Sony buys them aswel as Quantic Dream lol.

Also, doesn't PS3 have an older audience then 360 and Wii? I swear I read that somewhere years ago.

Yeah I would not classify Bastion as a particularly artistic game. But I'm also not sure how he came to this conclusion without releasing a game on the other platforms. I have no doubt in my mind though that PC gamers are more likely to be into artistic games, hence the hundreds of indie games on Steam.

WOW, LOL and crysis aren't artistic.

That's all your PC cult plays isn't it?

jk, I'd be interested to see how well games like Dear Esther sell on steam, but I can't seem to find any recent sales data.



I agree that there are more artistic games, but the owners? I'm guessing there are more "artistic" (don't even know how you can define that) gamers on PS3 than the Wii or Xbox 360, but it wouldn't be that much more and not enough to draw any attention to it, and as Pezus said, there are FAR more on PC.



I too got rid of my wii and 360, and my artistic level went up over 9000!!! Now i'm left handed. Then i went on to write about my experience while subtly take shots of the competitors user base. Because we know that the users, not the developers, are the ones who put the games on the system but probably concluded the artistic game would be useless. We  really knew given the choice, if it were on their system, it would far exceed the PS3, but since they are exclusives, no one will never know. Every one knows Psn is the system everyone flocks to for artistic gaming, right? We wouldn't pick up a book, or  a Sudoko puzzle, or go to a museum instead. Naw, Psn best kept autistic secret.



Just because you chose to quote a famous dead person does not mean that you are some type of intellect nor does it mean that the quote in question is correct.

You could make this argument for any console. Sounds like marketing to me.

I play only mature artistic games for mature gamers artistic adults such as myself.

This is just a game producer/creator kissing ass to the company where his games only exist on based on the type of games they create.

Those games would sell equally well on other systems as there are people who'd buy them in any 60m+ set of gamers.


While I don't agree with Chen is saying very much, Sony invested somewhat heavily in ThatGameCompany so they could produce the games they made.  In 2006, I don't believe Microsoft would have considered investing in a small indie developer - they've been very good at securing exclusivity on games in already in development, but they haven't yet seemed to invest much in any of their own.

 

Purely anecdotally, having played on both systems a bit (PS3 much more in recent years since I haven't owned a 360 since about 2009) I find the community on PS3 generally nicer.  On something like Call of Duty there's probably no difference, but on something like Motorstorm, Resistance, Warhawk or especially LittleBigPlanet I've met some very nice people.  I suppose different people's mileage may vary.

Utter horseshit.

Sweeping generalisation. If these games had been available on the 360 they would have sold as many if not more.


but the games aren't on the 360 which is why it makes sense that the audience that wants these games are on the ps3 and not on the 360.

I like to consider myself as an artistic adult but I no longer own a PS3, is this going to be problematic?

Obviously.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


games like heavy rain would sell on xbox as good as on playstation. if you don't have such a game, you can't buy it for 360 but do they really believe xbox owners wouldn't buy heavy rain as much as playstation owners? but with kinect, xbox is getting more and more people interested in very simple structures, that's true but i would say the current fanbase isn't so different.
