hardcore gaming is the past ,casual gaming is the future ?

Casual gaming and hardcore gaming will always be around.

If casual games flood the market, developers will take advantage by offering something to the hardcore audience.

Neither audience needs to feel threatened by the other.

Thanks for continuing your pointless thread.

According to your logic, games like Halo, MSG4, etc. should have never been made.

If developers crowd store shelves with party games, they won't sell as much.

Not to mention, gaming is fairly new (unless you're like 15). So many "casual" gamers will become "hardcore" gamers in the future.

So once again...

Stop worrying about losing your "hardcorezz gamezzzz!!1".

They'll be around forever, just like fat chicks and pointless threads.

it would seem that the videogame industry is heading on a different direction , while it's true that gta 4 and halo 3 has sold millions of copies to the hardcore crowd ,games like guitar hero , rockband ,wii-fit has ,brain training ,nintendogs found a market of it's own ..wii has truly disrupted the industry with it's casual approach and has propelled nintendo to the top of the videogame world ..today the wii outsells the competing "hardcore" systems combined !!! ..ds is ahead of psp by 32 million units !! ..miyamoto's approach of videogame should be for everyone not just your typical male teen aged 12-19 has paid in dividends ...whatever happened to the ps2 crowd of 150 million gamers ? , they sure arent flocking to ps3 and xbox 360 ..could it be that the price of the hd consoles scared them off? ,maybe the xbox 360 rrod was a factor ? or maybe ,gamers have all grown up and has little time for games that require 30-60 hr adventures ? or maybe it's all of the above ?....your thoughts ?Kakarot00769

why cant we just all co-exist ? i meant the future of gaming maybe heading to the miyamoto /nintendo approach of getting casuals on board

If that's the case, I'd like to stick to the past, plz.

Let's face it, were snobs. Elitists who don't want ignorant casuals enjoying the fine art of gaming. (Well, I am, anyway)

If you're not hardcore, then GTFO. Go play Alvin & the Chipmunks with your friends.
