But Louie, what if the games now deemed as "casual" form the new "hardcore", just like the "casual" fighting, racing and sports games of the 32-bit era formed today's "hardcore"? Pre-PlayStation platformers and shoot'em ups were "hardcore" while today those games are called "casual".

If those sentences all make some sense (and I hope they make perfect sense), then Malstrom will be correct. Tada!

Uhh.. no :-p Those people would still like the same genres so they still won't buy today's "hardcore" games. And that's what Malstrom implied. I don't think his solution is wrong (= the Wii will get more hardcore games) but I think his explanation is wrong (I think today's "casuals" won't get interested in today's "core" games but the mass market appeal of the Wii will automatically get people interested who are naturally the "hardcore" type of gamer - the competitive gamer. That's my second example )

I think you are twisting my words and making fun of with me which the smiley at the end of your post suggests. If you aren't able to debate in a mature way, our discussion is hereby over.

Or in other words, I don't think we'll be getting anywhere with these semantics. Gotta go and work on my next "Top 8" thread.

I think this topic is so weird there won't be an end to it anyways

Love your "Top 8 story" thread btw
