Wut? Graphics and the newest tech doesn't make anything 'core' or not.

The Wii has some core games, and it has casual games.. This feels like a troll/joke topic though.

That's quite the generalization. Did you, perchance, conduct a survey to come to this ridiculous conclusion?

I wonder, who said they were to begin with. I don't see them parading around here shouting that they're core or anything. Further more, why would anyone take your word for it? You have no proof, all you did was say "because I said so".

What's that Lassie? "You are only a core gamer if you play games with the best avalible graphics"?

Well I think you're talking rubbish there, Lassie, and dogs can't play games anyway.

No, you aren't right. By your definition of a core gamer, everyone with only one console and no PC isn't a core gamer.

Wii gamers are half and half some play wii fit etc, some play mario galaxy and zelda etc, you do the math some are core some are not. your just as bad as the pc gamers who tell me im not hardcore because i play 360, even though i play about 10 hours a night of xbox on many an occassion.

You contradicted yourself. Right now, the Wii has the best motion sensing technology, which makes games seem a lot more realistic than the graphics do, although the other systems have great visuals.

One question, what exactly is a core gamer?

Well if they love games so much why do the play a console that has a non shovelware game every 6 months when they could have one that releases actual games every week.

Agreed. Only hardcore gamers play titles like The Sims, You're In The Movies and Buzz.

Because what you posted is factually wrong and a quick look at our google spreadsheet would say there are more than 1 none shovelware games released every 6 months. Someone link me the google spreadsheet stat.

OP, let me see if I understand you correctly:

YOUR definition of a "hARDCORE" gamer is somebody who only plays games with 'realistic' graphics?

Only a successful troll could be this ignorant

Good job, you are an inspiration to your kind

I have a Wii, 360, ps3, DS, and PC, yet I don't consider myself a core gamer, and I will never be one. the term "Core Gamer" is created to justify addiction to games and lack of success in real life.

TC, you consider yourself a core gamer because your Mommy and Daddy pay over 1 grand to buy you multiple systems and games? :roll:

I need to pay for all of my games by myself, hence why I only own a Wii. I have other things to spend my money on like college tuition.

The Wii has way more than one quality game released every six months.

Here's the 2009 only list.

How do you define core gamer? And the Wii had lots of AAs and As in 2009 so far and that's only exclusives.

I really dont understand why wii-only owners are limiting themselves. Its not just about graphics, its about lack of quality games, or even decent games. The experience almost always translates better on the 360 and ps3. And its nice that theyre pioneering motioncontrol, but that doesnt mean its good yet. the so called added benefits of 'game immersion' are so negligable at the moment taht they definately do not outweigh the other setbacks of the system. I cant think of many games where the motion control 1ups the console/pc counterparts. If you want precision use a mouse. If you want immersion, play a game with good graphics, the motion control wont do that for you just yet.

FeedOnATreeFrog

Who cares? Fact is they weren't and there is no proof those games would even exist if the wii wasn't around. Would you like to try again?

Yeah, I read that people say those versions are different, similar to the GRAW situation. I read the reviews and Gamespot said the Wii version is different from the other versions.
