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


@the_dengle had a good argument up there. 


Chill dude, just a joke. Yeah I know where he is coming from. but I too don't understan why some don't consider it hardcore. When playing games from beggining to end and with dedication, there isn't this silly concept of soft/hard core. You just play it for entertainment, in any platform.



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

So they consider people who only play FIFA a few hours a week more hardcore than people who play Fire Emblem Awakening ten hours a day???

Doesn't sound like people who really cares about the gaming industry wrote this.



Yep.

That's what I get for playing +40 hours of pokemon a week!?

Man... Do I become more casual the more i play with a Nintendo console?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Try to finish Super Mario the lost level without losing a live or DK Tropical Freeze and tell me if that's not more hardcore that play FIFA COD.

Yeah just remember, next time you're EV training that Ferothorn in HP and defense, or IV breeding for the perfect 0 speed IV Honedge, you're just becoming more of a filthy casual. Hope that makes you feel better about yourself :)



 

I vaguely remember a similar thread before...maybe I'm making it up though.

Still, what a ridiculous notion. You can't classify a hardcore gamer (if such a thing exsists) like this, let alone with that criteria.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
