Mac owners are apparently more hardcore than Nintendo fans.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Their definition of hardcore are dumb FPS gamers, there are tons of those here in brazil. They play Call of Duty, Battlefield, Fifa, UFC and NOTHING ELSE! Single player games are like kriptonite to these bozos.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Players on a Mac can be hardcore but Nintendo players not. And I thought I have seen everything!



Thanks god im an adult... i mean casual.



Nintendo consoles are more kiddy oriented, therefore why. Parents don't let their children play more than 2h per day



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Someone who plays candy crush for hours every day i would consider hardcore.

To be honest I would say Nintendo fans are probably the most hardcore of any group. Look at the sales of the console and the games that are selling. Year after year they feed Nintendo. Nintendo could release a broom stick and it would sell at least 5 million ad have games that sell over 3 million.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Hahaha! That's probably the most laughable piece of text I've ever seen here. I mean, I even laughed this time!

@the_dengle had a good argument up there.

I'm a Nintendo fan and a Mac owner.

Do I cancel myself out?



I only play an average of 2-3 hours per week in busy months.
In lazy months an average of 1-0.5 hours per month.
