I thought we decided to end this? Besides your argument is a bit flawed. "hardcore" is NOT a matter of opinion. A hc genre is constituted by what hardcore gamers play. You considering yourself hardcore and just playing JRPGs doesn't mean it rings true for all hardcore gamers. I have a PS3, X360, PSP, DS, $2500 gaming rig and I spend about $700-1000/year and get all major AAA titles and most japanese niche titles as well. Does that make me a Hardcore gamer? Hell yea! Do I think that JRPGs are a genre that hardcore gamer are willing to play? sure. Do i think the DS has more JRPGs and of better quality than the PSP? you betcha. Is JRPG the genre of choice for most hc guys like me? F**K NO!!

It's an impossible argument to win on this site, because let's face it. We're on "Eye's on Final Fantasy" a site dedicated to a glorified JRPG series. Go on any Gaming site: IGN, Kotaku, Gamespot, 1up, Gaetrailers, destructoid, etc. Meet hardcore gamers on their community forums. Ask them what their genre of choice is. Less than 10% will say JRPG (NOTE this is not a study that I conducted). JRPGs are a dying niche within the hardcore community and don't kid yourself that it's a mainstream hc genre. I don't know how you consider yourself a Hardcore gamer, but being a hc gamer is NOT a matter of opinion. There is a clear divide between the casual and the hardcore. Just buying JRPGs doesn't constitute Hardcore. It doesn't mean your casual, but neither are you knee deep like us. So you just ignore all the genres that the PSP clearly dominates the DS on and declare that because it has better JRPGs, that's its the obvious hardcore device.

If any of you want to continue this discussion (and you probably will) lets move it to a more appropriate area, like the general gaming section to dispute our differences of opinions and leave KH3D alone. Anyone care to start a Hardcore thread or a PSP vs DS thread, be my guest. I don't want to continue this on a KH thread.

PS. I lol'd at the fact that @ most gaming sites I'm defending Final Fantasy and JRPGs in general and here im pushing for the other side. fm jaded opinion!
