I think I got bingo!

Seriously, kwaad still posts here?

And how is 360 winning this generation? It's stomped in Japan, and will be 3rd in europe before long. VICTORY!

It's Kwaad, hey bro..Longtime no see and again you are against the Wii...lol

I believe your friend needs to play some more Wii games and then he can decide if the Wii is truly a gimmick.

To be honest it is not.

 *steals your popcorn*

i love having my wii and ps3 so im set for now and welcome back

...and for perspective.

i don't think that this people buying a wii and only playing wii sports is really a big deal. let me explain. i have a friend, let's call him kevin as that is his name, and he bought a ps2. i've taken a look at his library and it totals 4 games. a madden football game (forget which year), GTA 3, and guitar hero I and II.

i guess what i am saying is casuals are casual regardless of what system they buy. but either way, they are an important part to the overall "success" of any console.

anyhoo...

 I let him borrow all mine, and I think he rented a few. I didnt... 'monitor' his use of it... mainly becaue I'm never home. Is my PS3 gathering dust? Actually both of them are. 1 is broke, because my wife wont call sony to get it fixed. And my other PS3 is gathering dust, because no-one will play on it.

Let's see he mainly griped about the control method for the Wii, overall on all the games. It feels great at first, but once you get over it, it's like... blah.

The games he loves on the 360... I cant rember which ones, but I want them, and their exclusive.

The gimmick is NOT the Wii. it's Wii Sports. 

360 over Wii man that is just sad......

I cant stop laughing, no seriously I cant.

Anyhow, the point of this thread was what exactly?

I miss posts like this, reminds me of the good old days.

*Reminisces wistfully*

 Who are you?

You've been on this site since "10th Dec 07" and somehow "know" Kwaad. Are you Gballzack? :)

What Kitler53 said. It's not a matter of casual/hardcore (stupid), it's mainstream gamers/people that spend alot of money on videogames/people that spend way too much time on the internet talking about videogames/casuals

The mainstream gamer will have a system for 6 years and buy 4 games on it. Probably a few big name games. Halo, GTA, Guitar Hero maybe, Mariokart, and be content with those. It's those mainstream gamers that make consoles successful, and increasingly the casual gamers are becoming a huge part of success. The PS2 was such a hit because everyone had one, even if it was just for a couple of sports games, or maybe GTA and Gran Turismo. Those mainstream and casual gamers are the lifeblood of the industry. We, the ones that spend way too much time and money on videogames just assume narcissistically that we are the pushing force behind the industry.
