casual game's always existed like dr.mario and burger time even nes day's but developers main focus was core games, with xbox microsoft mainly focused on casuals and that's the wrong thing to do.
didnt microsoft learn anything from wii? it sold good for a bit then dropped in sales. Same will happen to kinect so why should microsoft put most of their efforts towards this device?
Some of the best games this generation have been multiplat, so taking advantage of a consoles technology does not mean much at all. The 360 is still as core as its always been, it just also happens to be attracting the casuals as well.

microsoft is only focusing on game's that sold ''MILLIONS'' in the past for sequels like forza,halo,gears that's it and they arent giving other xbox original's a chance at a sequel because of kinect. Example who knows if they will even give alan awake another chance? because it didnt sell ''millions'' They're playing it too safe for their own good, plus they arent bringing out new franchise's to add to 360 core library that's retarded. They're gonna run halo,forza,gears into the ground like activision did guitar hero. Not to mention focusing only on hardcore game's is better which means more core games, now because of causal some of their focus is taken off hardcore games. Casuals buy game's once in a blue moon they shouldnt be mainly focusing on them how they are.
Yeah exactly who knows when it comes to Alan Wake, so you cant rule it out completely. Dont compare those games to what activision done with guitar hero because its completely different. Guitar Hero showed little to no innovation and was pushed to consumers annually or ever sooner. Halo, Forza and Gears are not annual series'. Each is enough improvement over the last to warrant a sequel, and they are quality games that deserve their sales.
Your last point is completely correct, casuals do not buy as much software as the core audience which is why Microsoft is not ignoring the core at all.
They are ignoring the core userbase alot more than before they launched kinect, how could they? it's not possible.
I'm having a real hard time caring enough about this crap to actively boycott. They don't owe you anything. AAllxxjjnn
Yes they do considering i bought the console november 15th 2001 and i supported them so they can continue into this generation, the console could of died you know if core gamer people didnt buy it? Without the core xbox original gamers xbox360 wouldnt exist today, and how do they repay me? by selling out on me.
Not true. Just because some of their first party studios have switched focus to Kinect games does not mean theyve lost focus on core gamers. They still provide exclusive core games (both retail and xbla), they still secure deals and partnerships for core gamers (early map packs etc) and they still continue to bring in almost every 3rd party core game out there.

exclusive dlc is no replacement for true exclusive game's built to take advantage of that consoles technology which multiplats dont.

I think boycotting tends to be pointless. You're only hurting yourself.

Microsoft is hurting the gamers, because they're 90% focused on casuals and 10% focused on gamers.

Perfect dark zero=optimatch which should be standard for all games which has the option to turn ur home console into dedicated server and developer at studio with faster connection can do samething. Halo 2 matchmaking ruined gaming, halo =16 players....PDZ=32...nuff said?
