Hahaha I love it, Nintendo is truly destroying the industry and Sony is forced to abandon the hardcore.
@Kyros:
2 things to say.
1- Animal Crossing helps illustrate this generation's divide and just underscores how stupid the casual/hardcore terms are. Last generation nobody complained that AC was for casuals and core gamers loved it. Some would say "It's not my style of game" but several people don't like FPSs either and it would have been the same situation. Now it's just more evidence of "Nintendo abandoning the hardcore".
2- All those titles you mentioned? If we figure out the average amount of time between first hype and release i'd be shocked if it was under a year and a half. Killzone 2 was the most talked about title at E3 05. E3 08 has come and gone and we're still several months away from release. Do you honestly prefer waiting several years for a good game instead of Nintendo's announce when it's actually coming out strategy?
I'd be driven insane if Reggie had announced "Legend of Zelda: The Divine Blade" but told us no release date and it actually came out in late 2010. They learned their lesson after people went insane waiting for TP and don't want to keep hyping up titles that far into the future.
Go ahead and drool over concept art and screenshots for a game you won't play for another couple of years. I'd rather only see stuff when I know i'll actually play it soon.
