Casual gamers are now a threat to true gamers - FACT

Last few generations, because casuals and core gamers were under one roof (the PSone and PS2) all types of games sold.

Now Nintendo has taken them and left them on the Wii, so there is no hope of these casuals 'graduating' to core games

As a result, less and less core games will be made before people have NO reason to make them

On the Wii, yeah.

But the PS3/PC/360 will be fine.

You do realize that the music you grew up with, and love ... will also become less popular as new kids get their new music?

Your `core' likely took the place of what people before you loved and considered `core'. As continually happens.

Time moves on, adapt and enjoy it - or only play old games.

To think that any new gamer isn't going to go on to deeper and more complex games, who are only gaming for one generation - IMO is naive.

more casuals = more new gamers = more gamers = more hardcore gamers = more hardcore games

more casuals = more new gamers = more gamers = more hardcore gamers = more hardcore games

plz, nintendo makes more games for core gamers than casual gamers, also more than MS or sony

why doe'snt sony get flack for making 8 buzz games and 6 singstars in 2008????

This argument is one of the lamest around. Killing gaming? Yeah right. I'll see you in 10 years, where the industry will still be here, and the so called "hardcore" games still exist.

Except they're bringing money into the industry, and saying "Wow I actually enjoy playing games", which is good for them.

True gamers = people who are not lying when they say they play games.

Or so I'm assuming.

Evidently so many people are lying about actually playing video games that there's a crysis about it.

Fact.

Most people who think they are hardcore gamers are actually casual gamers with an inferiority complex.

Maybe the PS1/2 didn't get to that market yet. I honestly think the Wii pulled in a different demographic to be honest. One that is bigger then the so called "hardcore" tag everyone is using.

I dont mind casual gamers as such, its not like its a new aspect of gaming, they were always there.

they can have their "casual" games, as long as "hardcore" games arent changed or affected by them......

Here's another fact, the real threat to ELITIST gamers and perhaps to the video gamer industry is the developers themselves. Check the link tounderstand who's killing video game industry: http://www.slate.com/id/2210732/

Casual gaming is simply the by product of gaming becoming a more widespread and "acceptable" (bad word but you get the point) form of entertainment and expression. There have always been mediums (books, television, movies) aimed at pleasing or appealing to those who don't make a hobby out of reading or watching or in gaming's case playing. But there has always been books for readers, movies for movie nuts, and there will always be games for gamers. BAW less.

umcommon

If one of the two has to take over the world, I would rather bow down to Kratos than Pikachu.

I honestly don't get this generation of gamers, instead of being happy that new and interesting games are coming out, like World of Goo and Little King Story, No More Heroes and Mad World, they consider "Halo 3.5 plus maphaxors" that will probably sell 10 million copies, to be the true hardcore game.... Its like a game has to have guns and be Western copies of themselves, in order for them to be "hardcore" Doesn't anyone find that ironic? As opposed to the indie devs that are trying to make something new and different. Sigh, times most definitely changed...

True gamers?

I laugh at that:lol:

A true gamer doesn't submit himself to a specific type of group, a true gamer plays whatever he damn well feels like playing if it's fun

So what you just stated will never affect a TRUE gamer;)
