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

[QUOTE="TintedEyes"][QUOTE="Frostbite24"] It was obvious why he didn't mention the PC because if he had it would have made this claim joke-worthy for Sony, then this guy wouldn't get paid.

sony is becoming the apple of video games,

their fans are just a bunch of pretentious idiots, that take a few good games try and steam roll the competition with their "adult" and "artistic" superiority.

Unfortunatly the rest of the systems have a good balance between adult, artistic, and fun games. There is a healthy mentality on xbox, pc, wii... if a game looks like fun try it! The truth is we people can appreciate the mature and artistic games on 360, and the childishly fun games, aslo adults tend to have kids and having a kinect is wonder butter on top of the good games it offers.

All one has to do is go on XBL and PSN and you will see the difference. Lems contradict themselves, they say there are just as many jerks and immature people on PSN as XBL, but then they say no one on PSN uses a mic, so which one is it Lems?

Another aspect is the PS brand has been around longer than the Xbox one, and many of it's games appeal to adults more so than the 360. Games like Heavy Rain, MGS4, Uncharted ect....all have more adult themes than games like Halo or Gears, which seem like something a 12 year old would invent

"Oh look we can play as a cyborg army marine man who kills purple and green aliens, oohh cool now you fight zombies! Awesome!"

And Gears is even more so

"Oh ya I get to be prison army man with bi muscels who chainsaws monsters that come out of the ground, oh and now you get to run around with a bunch of other big guys with chainsaws! And one of them has a bad emo teen romance with ded wife! Woohoo"!

The PlayStation brand simply appeals more to adults and mature people. 360 is aimed at teenagers and kids. Just look at Kinect and Sesame Street, or the Xbox dashboard, big colorful boxes that have ads and disney like cartoon avatars. It's basically just the teenager version of the Wii. Lems will not like this post, but it's the truth.

I know you don't have a PS3, but if you ever get the chance you should check out Little Big Planet. It's a great game and you'll like playing it with your family. It has a lot to do and customize, plus the user created levels are awesome (there are Skrim levels!).

How sad that till this day people are still trying to justify their system of choice.

Lol at thinking video games are some high art form. Pretentious much? Video games are supposed to be fun, no more no less.Miketheman83

Like other forms of media videogames CAN be art and I think that like the best movies and songs, the best games do leave you with a deep emotional impact. Not every game of course has to have this and for some genres it mostly doesn't work, but as a fan of more artsy/abstract films I do think there is a place for it in the industry and I'm glad Sony is pushing that aspect. It definitely makes me want to support them more.

It's something I noticed about Sony as far back as the announcement of Echochrome actually. Sony is pushing not only core games and casual games, but games as art and I definitely appreciate that as I think that is one good way to innovate. Since when has Microsoft done anything like Echochrome or (going further back) Ico? They haven't and I don't think they will.

Sounds about right.

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."

:lol: I really hope PS fans are this delusional. Priceless.

Bit ironic as the PS fanboys are the most rabid and immature out of the lot.

Also an adult trait is the ability to think for yourself, but people here are like 'well if he said it, it must be true'.

Games are art, anyone denying this should leave this place and never come back. Never play games ever again. Only downside of games is that a lot of them have weak stories, but there are a few games that have tried to break that trend.

I'm hoping The Last of Us ends up having an amazing story like Naughty Dog and GameInformer are saying it is. Mabey that might be the truly first emotional game. One that conveys ideas and inspiration to it.

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

I cant think of a successfull non-shooter game on the 360 (excluding maybe some XBLA games and Forza series).

On PS3 I can count:

LBP

Heavy Rain

God of War

WipEout HD/Fury

GT5

Journey

Flower

Heavenly Sword (it sold 2 million, thats successfull, disreagard how NT feel about it)

Demon's Souls

Hell, even Bayonetta sold better on PS3 when the 360 version was the better one

:roll: ico is not art.WilliamRLBaker

Ico does not just rely on exciting/catchy gameplay or repetition to be entertaining, it tries to make you think and make an emotional impact and it tells a story without words. By my standards that is art, but lets say you reject that. How about Journey, Shadow of the Colossus, Linger in Shadows, or Datura?

What qualifies as a game and where do you draw the line between games as just entertainment and games as art? Sony seems to be testing that and it's cool to see.

Are you talking about successful or mature games?

You call out the 360 for being [I presume] an immature shooter console, fine, but then list random games, half of which are not really mature themselves, but are successful.

I'm a little lost on your point and relation of mature and successful.

I thought it was rather obvious that PS3's focus, not just digital games, was more adult oriented, while 360's focus is on children, especially now with the Kinect. Based on how well the controls of Kinect actually work, I'd say it's aimed more towards infants.

Well there is some reasoning to this also as playstation has been around longer than the xbox brand and thus gamers have growned up and matured with it. The playstation has been around 7 more years and also caught on faster than the 360. It would make sense that the newer generation are more the 360 players. Also, haven't you noticed that the new generation is more out to touch with real creativity as they are more into mass produced stuff since they follow the internet so much. I'm 42 and I have 3 brothers in their late 30's and we all have playstations. As far as my friends they all have them too. I think the 360 is meant for young or mentally devoid people out there.

Ok granted, but it's not like the 360 has no artistic games, so lets argue the PS3 has more. I don't get why that makes the demographic more adult (as topic title implies).

:P need that vital link between the two.

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"][QUOTE="e_stone001"] I know they're practically the same console within the same market, but the difference is "Performance". That is what stands out between the two and what games are offered on both. Jenova Chen is right when he stated that the PS3 has more artistic games from indie developers. MS does have some artistic games, but they don't take a risk with them and you can clearly see that. Heavy Rain for example is another artistic game. Sony takes risks with their games no matter what is popular in the market. It's all about a new experience to play games and explore them. HalcyonScarlet

lol you herms would, wouldn't you. :P

That's funny Hermits say that, considering many PS3 games rival some high end PC games. Uncharted, God of War 3, Killzone ect... all rival may top PC games. Hell God of War Acension looks better than some PC games in some parts, and The Last of Us has better charecter models and than Witcher 2 on high.

Of course this is going to piss the Hermits off, but it's true. Not my fault they are such cry babies.
