 Yes because everyone can afford a 400 dollar video game console.

Somehow I doubt anyone is going to take you so seriously.

You come here and say the Wii isn't hardcore, 360 appeals to the hardcore only, and the PS3 has the best games.

Pray tell, what would a Hardcore system be / do / play?

A non-descript box that played one blood bath sex infused FPS?

Read my conclusion...what Im pretty much saying is right now it may appear to the hardcore and some casuals, but in the near future, it will appeal to everyone...let me revise my conclusion

Also, the only casual game I see is LBP. Maybe KH to some lesser degree, but there is no confirmation on where it will go.

ps3 is the best console out, it does more for the money than the other 2.

its only in its second year and has done very well.

things should clear up a bit after xmas 2008, i predict ps3 at the end of the generation to be the highest selling console of all time. with the greatest games, greatest grafix and greatest audio.

 

 Sorry bud it's just not going to happen. I don;t know what makes you say that but give me a reason why the PS3 will outsell the Wii and then outsell the PS2 (particular order not included). Judging  by your post history it would seem that you hate anything without a Sony nametag. As far as the best console and best games, that is opinionated. A lot of people will disagree with you. I own and love my PS3 but I just don't see it happening.



Consoles Owned: Sega Genesis, NES, PS2 (RIP) N64, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii

I think this was true in the past with PS1 and PS2, which is why Sony dominated. Xbox was hardcore, and 360 has been, but I think Microsft is trying to expand the 360 base and appeal to RPG fans and children and even casual gamers a bit. The gamecube appealed to Nintendo fans and children, which put them in a corner. While I absoultly loved the GC (only console I had last gen) I wished it had a few more great third party games like RE4 and Viewtiful Joe and Monkey Ball and ToS.

This gen... the Wii is for everyone, just like the DS. The DS started with hardcore fans, and then branched out to casuals, starting with Nintendogs. After that it took over. Wii takeover will take about as long; Nintendo started with Hardcore Nintendo fans (zelda) and cusuals (Wii sports) this time, but unlike the DS they wern;t first to market, as the 360 had already captured alot of the hardcore.

The PS3 may still appeal to everyone, but with its high price appealing to everyone may stretch itself to thin an fail to capture any one of its former bases fully. In the end PS3 should be able to get a 2nd place and break even or almost break even, but Sony will lose alot of its fans to Nintendo and Microsoft. Personally I think Sony should have gone with a $300 PS3 at launch without BR and had comparable yet worse graphics to the 360 (similar to GC vs Xbox)

 

not for the hardcore crowd

You really are asking to get owned, right?

 

No More Heroes, The Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess, Batallion Wars, Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty - World at War, Castlevania Judgement, The Conduit, Disaster - Day of Crisis, Fire Emblem,  Manhunt 2,  Medal of Honor - Heros 2, Monster Hunt 3, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil - Umbrella Chronicles, Resident Evil Zero, Starwars - The Force Unleashed, Tales of Symphonia..Do I need to continue?

 here we go again just wait till mgs4, just wait till after xmas 08, just wait till summer 09.
