I think we've all made our points clear. The best way to settle the debate is to wait and see how the market evolves.
I think the market will evolve healthily in both directions - there will be games for everyone to enjoy, and with luck more game industry jobs are created in order to account for market expansion. Hopefully, the audiences aren't even mutually exclusive - I do enjoy certain casual games, and I'm sure many so called "casual gamers" will also buy the so called "hardcore" games.
You think almost every developer will turn into a shovelware/casual/casual-shovelware making machine with very few hardcore games in between.
Let's wait and see who's right.
