| Sky Render said: The only core that will be washed away is the part of the core that will not adapt. That's how it is with all disruptive forces. Those who stay behind are left behind. It's worth it to go with the change instead of resist it. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. As I said, the upmarket will re-emerge and take on a new form in the coming years. Games won't be like the Wii series forever, just as they weren't like Super Mario Brothers and Legend of Zelda forever when the previous cycle started. |
But how long will the new market can adapt and be a core market? Im still remember the old days with the famicom Im from Asia so we have famicom then instead of the NES we're still playing Battle City, galaga, galaxian, Warpman, Tetris, ballon fight, ice climber, etc... in those days you know casual ones before the core gaming shifts with Super Mario Bros. 3 and the release of the SNES. I think its from 1991 so how long will the new gamers will adapt? I think it will take long time
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
