Ps3 owners are more "adult", "cerebral" and "artistic&q

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have a fairly comparable game library. Small differences do exist, though. Perhaps the widest gap is between the two systems' digital offerings.

That's where Jenova Chen, Thatgamecompany lead designer (Journey), noticed a difference. "Sony has a more artistic and adult-focused taste" Chen said in an email conversation with GamesBeat. "They care about how grown-ups feel toward their games."

"Our primary PSN audience is indeed more adult, and many of our best-selling titles appeal to this demographic," senior director of PlayStation digital platforms Jack Buser told GamesBeat. "Many PlayStation and PSN games have themes that require a user to think and feel about a deep, immersive gameplay experience, and we see that exemplified in the success of titles like Flower, Journey, and Heavy Rain. Titles like these can only be found on PlayStation, and our users enjoy the emotional and thematic sophistication of their games, especially with our digital offerings."

no offense, but from my experience, the people who are fans of Sony have a tendancy of being the most immature gamers out there

Xbox360 is more directed at little kids and thats how i personally see it.. all they got the 2 yearly shooters ( CoD and Halo ) and bunch of casual crap

That's basically obvious. 360 is aimed at bro gamers who can't think of anything but shoot stuff and little kids.kuraimen

They've made exclusive downloadable games for Sony on Sony's dollar. Where's the room for comparison? If Journey had sold far less on the 360 then maybe, maybe we could come to a conclusion, but it wasn't released there at all simply because Sony paid for the game.

However, what we can easily compare between the two systems is multiplat sales, and CoD is the highest seller on the PS3 as well as the 360. I'm guessing the demographics aren't so different.

Flower = adult focused ?

Heavy Rain is on PSN ?

I just poped in a parallel universe or something ? Someone call the Fringe devision :)

And BTW, Bastion that is a RPG is way better than any of those titles and far more "adult" oriented

:lol: C'mon now. Heavy Rain was an immersive experience, but not for the tedious QTE, but for the story and decisions you make effecting the outcome. One of my favorite games of that year. carljohnson3456

I'm sorry, Heavy Rain was fun but "deep, immersive"? Only high school kids/First year college students would think that.tagyhag

I think correlation may be confused with absolute link :)

I didnt find it frustrating... but I agree for a game built so heavily on story, the story needed improvement. And yes, that part freaked me out too. lol.carljohnson3456

PS3 gamers definitely consider themselves more adult, I'll tell you that. In a way every fanboy is like that:

Xbox - blood and gore makes me mature
Playstation - artsy and serious games makes me mature
Nintendo - gameplay and not caring about being mature makes me mature
PC - being able to upgrade my computer and have better graphics makes me mature

People are too hung up on thinking games must be "mature" to be art. It's kinda sad, the medium's artistic merit will go nowhere with this attitude. Being like movies doesn't make the medium more legitimate. Emphasizing the interactivity of video games will.

It dont matter, I'm just trying to figure out why would someone would seriously deny that Heavy Rain was immersive... ya know, the "deep" part I get really. But for me, Heavy Rain was almost as immersive as any console game I've ever played. And as for PC versus console, yeah, yeah, PC supreme, yada, yada. carljohnson3456

funny how Flower and Journey were extremely simplistic games and Heavy Rain was a movie.

guess we have to head to PC to find games that are artistic AND challenging!

Agreed. However, I do think some QTEs do a good job of spicing up the narration. But ya, there's definitely a fine line lolydnarrewop

:lol: yep, adults lack the eye hand coordination to play games so of course bee-u-t-ful interactive experiences are all they can finish.
