Is is not true that the casual/hardcore distinction is being much more talked about this gen than the last? Is it not true that most of the gaming media acts as if 360/PS3 is where you want to be for "hardcore" experiences and Wii for "casual"?

 

Yes, and it's true, isn't it? Not saying there aren't any hardcore games on Wii or that there aren't any casual games on the other consoles, but that's pretty much it, yeah...

Gamers in general don't agree, not when the Wii is stealing market share from these two consoles, making them sell slower than the consoles of the previous generation. Unless you think the market of hardcore gamers is crashing of course.
