Hey guys, thanks for your comments. I think I may have used a poor choice in words. When I refer to hardcore and core gamers I meant to refer to anyone that has played and is aware of genres such as FPS, RPGs and etc.. When I referred to casual gamers I meant those people who's gaming experience is limited to Wii sports, Wii play and Wii Fit. Maybe I should have referred to them as non-gamers? So its not about the usual casual vs hardcore gamer.
In any case, the article was in response to what I thought was an average year of game releases for the gamer on the Wii. The point of the article was that the gamers, by word of mouth market the gaming industry to the non-gamers
I completely agree that Nintendo can only release so many games and that the 3rd party are the ones that need to release them. But I also think that Nintendo can play a large role in influencing 3rd party releases similar to what Sony and Msoft do.
Those are my thoughts anyway. Thanks for the comments and thanks for reading!
