Why is it that lately it seems like hardcores have been showing the most casual characteristics?

-Of kids at my school, the ones who play VGs the most are getting wiis, while the ones who like some occasional FPS have gotten xboxes.

-hardcores are the ones complaining about xbox live fees,not casuals.

-casuals have been buying the triple a titles like SSBB and GTAIV while hardcores have been buying games based on box art that catches their eye.

I'll post more when I think of them, just wondering about this interesting roll reversal.

In my opinion the era of being a casual gamer and hardcore is basically over.

Sounds pretty typical of the Xbox audience, if you ask me.

What does it matter? If you see a game that interests you, then try it. No one's feelings are getting hurt.

There are no such things as "hardcore" and "casual," this thread fails.
