SCEA: PS3 has captured the hardcore, will now go casual |

Already released: from Uncharted to Killzone 2. Yet to come: Heavy Rain, God of War III. Of course, there are a whole slew of other hardcore titles smattered in between, and for SCEA's John Koller, he's pretty confident that they've already captured the hardcore market.
Yes, they came, they saw, they conquered the hardcore - and they still do, and will still cater to, it seems. But what of other markets, more specifically the casual? I mean, we can't just live by SingStar and Flower, right? As Koller puts it:
ThereÂ’s certainly a line-up of very strong family-friendly titles that weÂ’re looking at for PS3 in our continuing effort to appeal to that casual consumer.
WeÂ’ve captured the hardcore. The install base we have now tells us that the hardcoreÂ’s purchased. WeÂ’re moving on now to continue to support them with a tremendous line-up of games, but also look at softer brands that maybe we had with PS2 franchises weÂ’re bringing over to PS3, or new IP.
Think of some of the latter-half PS2 franchises.
Err, ok, any guesses?

They need to start advertising the PS3 as a multi-media device to get tech lovers and then start pushing out some QUALITY casual games and they'll be set. I didn't get my PS3 until the price had dropped and even after I had it I didn't have much to play on it but now things are starting to pick up a whole lot and its good. Things are starting to go as they should even if it did take them a while

Nobody is "whining" about prices lol. It's common sense to do so when you consider the economy is in bad shape and right now people are going nuts for Wii fit. Dude I didn't say nobody was gonna buy Tekken on Xbox... I said MOST Tekken fans won't. Considering T5DR Online is PS3, and there are NO Tekken 6BR cabinets in the U.S. Anybody thinking about it now will probably eventually get T5DR on ps3, since Tekken 6BR isn't out til OCTOBER. And lol trophies take long to load? Talk out of your ass much? You must be referring to the Trophy Sync option which saves your Trophy information? Either way, by the time Tekken hits PSN will LIKELY be up to par with LIVE. So your party chat point is moot. All games do have trophies from here on out... just not older games. So that point is moot really as well. I can see what games my friends are playing on PSN already....
Link75e, it's obvious you're some kinda MS/Ninty fanboy trolling PS3 QJ,trying to undermine PS3. You try not to come off as one but your lack of real knowledge about PS3 features tells me otherwise.-_-:

So again I say the solution is a lower price, and more niche games. The customer mostly looks at price and a lot of games. Just because you and I may not see it that way, it doesn't mean we have to look at more casual games as a bad thing. Yes the Wii has a landfill of booty games, it's only because the basis of those games is a gimmicky controller that really can't do what it was initially advertised to.
