Which system is the most hardcore?

I say Xbox 360.

The Wii is unarguably the most casual, but I think the PS3 is finding a sort of middle ground with games like Little Big Planet and free online services for those who only play online casually (And don't want to pay for a superior service they wont use very often.)

Granted, the 360 has casual appeal, but I think its main focus seems to be on that hardcore group that's not quite hardcore enough to go with the PC. 

So the way I see it:

Wii: Casual

PS3: Casual/Core

360: Hardcore

 

If you were to put it into terms of black and white.

I see what you mean, and I don't think there's much difference between the 360 and the PS3.

And : "There are no hardcore games (consoles), only hardcore gamers"

(And why didn't you consider the PC?)

I was about to write something using large quantities of hiphop lingo to mock this thread but I'm not really gangsta enough.....

Seriosuly, none of the systems are "hardcore"....

Having better communication features doesnt make an online service more "hardcore" :lol:

I know this is SW, but in the real world people are vegin out on PSN just as they are on LIVE. Paying for LIVE does not make a gamer more hardcore and its not as if PSN users arent getting a quality gameplay experience as well. If the money spent on LIVE guaranteed dedicated servers for every game then things would be different, but as things are now, the quality of online play is on even ground.

As for the argument of libraries, once again, even ground. The ratio of harcore games to casual are roughly the same on each. They are like sister consoles and each one edges out the other in different respects, but at the end of the day its about even.

That said, I would look at like this in terms of most hardcore.

PC>>>360=PS3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wii

There is no hardcore system. Consoles are aimed towards casuals in the first place.Espada12

ah but haven't you heard?  Those casuals call themselves the hardcore now!

Using the same train of thought, you could also argue that a cheaper console is better for a casual core.

There are no hardcore consoles.

You could also look to the low sales of LBP and say that the PS3 owners are so hardcore that its beneath them to play such a game.

 The next big thing in SW, arguing over who sells the least casual games :P

mbrockway

no the low sales of LBP proves ps3 owners are idiots who can't appreciate a brilliant title. Its one of the best games of the year. And the later levels are hard. Try finishing some of those levels without dying. It ain't easy.

Fixed.

I'm sure most answers would be either PC or some old console.

DreamcastKrigon

Wii is most hardcore by far.

If you'd played this you'd agree with me.

Self-made PC's are the most hardcoreshakmaster13

[QUOTE="shakmaster13"]Self-made PC's are the most hardcorephilhilluk

I suppose a high end PC could be considerd quite hardcore.

Well atleast consoles are casual by nature.  

Dont really think there is a 100% hardcore system though.. Gaming is casual.

[QUOTE="crozon"]somebody define hardcore for me. Are racing sims like iracing, gtr evolution hardcore how about fligh tsims like lock on, flight simulator x, il2 or shooters like armed assault. deus ex, stalkermstc_Q

The Wii IMO is more hardcore than people who just play on the 360 and PS3. Yes the Wii has it's casual appeal, however, the real hardcore gamers (not the phony ones who gets caught up with the big budget game of the month) are the ones who doesn't look at games that have the "hardcore" appeal. Real hardcore gamers don't just play on the 360, they own all the consoles this gen because that's how devoted they are to video games..hiphops_savior
