I think the Wii is a system for just the casuals and PS3 just for the hardcore. The 360 is the best system for both because it provides the best experience of both worlds.

Why would I pay $50 for online when I'm only going to play it every once in a while? I say its PS3. 360's got nothing!

I think you need to look at the libraries again.

You basically negated your subject with your post. The PS3 is the best system for the hardcore, while the Wii is the best system for casuals, and people aren't both of these types of gamers.

I gues when you say hardcore you mean lots of first person shooters.

I think all 3 consoles have a balanced hardcore and casual amount of games. PC is all hardcore. :cool:

lol. Casual vs hardcore... what a joke.

If you were a 'hardcore' gamer, you would play all types of games, including 'casual' games.

it's the best console, not system, considering how well the games run on it. Ps3 has better exclusives, arguably, but they alone don't make a better console than the 360, which can count on a good architecture that is no hassle for developers, hence better multiplats most of the time.

Ps3 is a close second, but as a gaming system just can't compete with the 360. as a multimedia device, it obliterates the 360, but not in gaming. if it hadn't its best exclusives like uncharted and metal gear solid, then it'd be a total disaster of a console.

the Wii is a good gaming system, but it must stay in third place, because it has a very weak third party support and its awesome exclusives cannot compensate the luckluster, desert library.

A system Tha required a yearly fee to play online cannot be considered the best option for casuals, the Wii is the casual console and the PS3 is the hardcore console. The 360 has tried to capture the casual market late gen but they have almost abandoned the core in the process of this. If not Gears of War 3, the 360 would be ... well it's scary to think about.

Uh, no. The ps3 library is more diverse. There are no games like MGS4, LBP, Heavy Rain, Tumble, Modnation Racers, 3D.GH..............whatever you need, the ps3 has you covered. I'd also say that it is the best console given the thread title. You get the more in depth games like Uncharted, but then there's the more casual God of War 3. GT5/Modnation Racers/Motocross. etc etc etc. I can't think of one genre that the 360 has that the ps3 doesn't.

In System Wars it isn't safe to say anything. When it comes to the word "best" and a discussion of consoles, opinions and fanboyism will always rule the roost.

PS3 has more diversity if you only count AAA exclusives, no doubt. 360´s overall library is infact bigger and more diverse. Stevo made a very interesting thread on this, a few monthes ago:

Looks like there are some missing genres from the PS3 section. Tumble? Lightgun type games? Wii ripoff games?

The 360 just has the best library since it literally has something for everyone. The fact that most multiplats are better on the 360 is also a great bonus.

Ehhh. I actually prefer my 360 over the PS3, but the 360's actual game output has been weak for the past 3 years. Save for a few titles like Alan Wake, it's been on a complete rotation of Gears, Halo, and Forza.

Eh, I'm not mad, but I do think Live fees suck and hate the new Kinect direction. I still enjoy some multiplats (and Gears 3) on my 360 and I don't regret buying it. As far as Sony losing their dominance, I think they kind of deserve it for some stupid things they did. The only system I don't like is the Wii, and yes, I'm a little butthurt over it's dominance and the motion fad.

That's short-minded on your part if you think that. You need to look deeper at each console's library and try them for yourself instead of listening to mainstream media and posters. They all have games that are catered to different types of gamers.

Nope. The PC is silly. Best Selection of Hardcore games. Best Selection of Core games. Best Selection of Casual games. All in one machine.

I disagree. Some of the best game designers are exclusive to consoles.

Yep. Xbox 360 is the best for hardcore gamers. Wii is for grandma, grandpa, toddlers, special needs (ie retards) and soccer moms pretty much. Nintendo betrayed their hardcore fans a long time ago and have laughed all the way to the bank. The evil bastards. So one can learn a lot about business from Nintendo but not a lot about being a decent human being. Nintendo is the George Lucas of the gaming world.

I consider myself to be a casual gamer & I prefer playing games on Playstation 3. Motorstorm & LittleBigPlanet are awesome... 360 has nothing that even comes close.

I have all three consoles so I have opitions, but I say the 360 a little bit of causal because of the Kinect.

Hardcore = Enjoys any game, stops at nothing to play a game. Casual = Likes only a handful of games and completely denies the rest. Pro = Has the skills at multiple games, not just one.

I agree, except some Pros are centric towards one game, at times.
