Default Re: Xbox Revealed

It's sad that the marketing departments for these companines don't try to appeal to the hardcore gamers like us. Even though we probably only repesented a small fraction of their aduience last night we are probably responsible for a big chunk of their business. The casual gamer is going to continue to buy a few games a year like the EA games with big names on the cover, while the hardcore gamers are the ones buying several games a year, subscribing to online services, making sure they have componet cables, dvd remotes, and steering wheels. Hardcore gamers are the ones paying attention to the crap that happened last night, the casual gamer probably didn't even know it was going to happen until he flipped the channel to MTV. I would be suprised if the people in the marketing departments actually bought and played through one or two games a year.

I will just try and forget what happened on MTV and pay attention to E3 where they know the only audience there are hardcore gamers.
