When I say casual, I mean people that barely play once a week and has a library of games like Sing Star and Buzz. I'm pointing this out because I know I'll be bashed on calling players hardcore and casual....


All the people I've met with a PS3 are hardcore players.

Sure do. One of my Professors at school. He is the definition of casual. And by casual, I mean he bought it for Blu-Ray and owns no games for it.

It is a selling point. For him, it was the best choice for a variety of reasons, and I am inclined to agree. I wouldn't say he will never game on it, as he is a nerd like most of us are, but it was not what he got it for originally.

My roommate doesn't game all that often. He plays CoD4 once or twice a week, or a football game, and watches blu-rays. That's about it really.

Only 2 that bought it mainly for the blu-ray player. For everyone else that I know it was too expensive and they went with the wii or 360 instead.

I think you can be casual and only play one hardcore game every once in awhile. Like my bro in law. He's had his PS3 since Febuary and has only bought 4 games for it... March Madness, COD4, SOCOM, and COD5. He only plays one game at a time for a few months online, then he is done with them. I consider that "casual" even though his game selection is "hardcore" I guess. He doesnt care about trophies, or ranking up or anything... just playing online with his buds here and there.

i kno someone who has virtual fighter on ps3 only and only plays it when he's got time otherwise its gathering dust coz he's not into all these fps, sports games, rpg kinda stuff he jus uses it to watch standard DVD'S on his hd tv, he doesnt have any blu ray dvds either. Only game he's probably only wanting is STREET FIGHTER 4 AND THATS it.

Don't even know anyone who owns a PS3... and I don't really see why casuals would buy it considering it's the most expensive console out, tho I guess games like PES, GTA and GT might attract casuals who played those games on PS2 even if some are multiplat.

barely anyone owns a ps3 here in the philippines...

if he does have one, i'd assume he has to be a hardcore gamer..

unfortunately for sony, here in the philippines, people prefer the PsP, and are more prone to DL games..

*oh and by the way, Manny Pacquiao just demolished Dela Hoya... sorry, had to do it.. :P

My friends that own a PS3 are pretty "hardcore". Of course, they mostly game on the 360. They just used the PS3 to play MGS4, and that was pretty much it.

if you think about it, blu-ray kind of made the ps3 more casual then anything else.

i dont know many ppl with a ps3 and when i ask if my friends that do have one they'd rather play some casual game like motostorm some socom which is a casual shooter. dont start me on how socom is casual do u know how many south texans will buy a game just to shoot terrorists? alot. most ps3 owners i know use it strictly for BR, even then they dont use it often. my friends list is a wasteland. although i have one friend who plays MGO and age of booty with me. sony makes LBP, R2, Motorstorm 2, 3 or 4 singstars, and 2 or 3 buzzes this year along with another ratchet rehash in 2008, starting to upset me though psn has some good games

My dad got it (at my recommendation) when he got an HDTV. He needed a Blu ray player, and at the time, it was the best option. Turns out, he really likes Flow... something I didn't expect. I got him Call of Duty, and he plays it once in a blue moon. So yeah, my dad is a casual PS3 user.

And how do you spot a casual PS3 user? When you visit them and turn on the system, they havn't applied last months firmware update.

Some people might conisder me a casual... I don't know what do you think?

I play whenever I feel like it, which can range from 0-15 hours per week. Depending on how busy, or bored, or whatever I am doing.

The one person I know who has a PS3 lives on campus and doesn't even have his PS3 in his dorm room. He's not casual in the sense of liking Sing Star, but he doesn't really know much about games and he doesn't play them that much. He's got MGS4 and Uncharted but if you start using gaming terms he gets baffled. Like he didn't know what "FPS" stood for and he doesn't follow gaming news at all and he doesn't really understand that Sony doesn't develop every single game on Sony systems.

well my sister only plays games like Singstar (which she is buying soon) and play LBP. Those are about the only games she plays on her PS3, and she is real excited about HOME. So she isnt casual in the sense that she only play 1 hour a week, but she is casual in the sense of her game choice. She likes the cute and creative nature of LBP and she really likes the whole decorate your house aspect of HOME (She isnt in the beta, but thats what she tells me interests her about HOME).

I don't know anyone that bought PS3 simply for Bluray. Nah, don't know any casuals who own a PS3. Everyone i know who owns a PS3 owns a good amount of games and plays it regularly. On the flip side, nearly everyone i know who owns a Wii regrets buying it. Even my little cousin regrets getting it as a gift. They never play it over their PS3.

My father owns a PS3 and uses it exclusively for Blu-Ray. What is wierd is that he bought Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and Grand Theft Auto 4 and has never opened/played either game. He owns like 40 blu ray movies last time I visited him.

i donno...i can't call anyone with a PS3 at casual gamer if they have no games lol. That's strictly a movie player not a gaming machine to them at that point. as for me personally i don't know anyone with a PS3 that's a casual gamer they either bought it for "blu-ray" or they are a hardcore gamer with as added blu-ray player bonus.

Everyone I know with only a ps3 is a casual as gamer, everyone I know with only a 360 just plays Halo and Gears of War all the time, the only trueley dedicated gamers I know are PC gamers or Legacy gamers.

Strange though. Surely any guy who would admit to playing Singstar or Buzz probably wouldn't be casual, seeing as if you were to be so open about it...? Well I'm generalising, but still, so many macho morons would laugh at the idea. If all anyone played was CoD 4, I would say they were more casual gamers because of the limited scope of genre they adopt.

Well for me its different...

All the Ps3 owners I know are casuals

and all the Ps3 owning regulars in my store are either casuals, or have 360's and dont play thier Ps3's

I think thanks to the blu-ray player , alot of the owners are casuals

Ironically I know someone who did something similar to this, but they bought it as a cd player :)
