| angrypoolman said: The truth is that the future of hardcore gaming is entirely dependent on those casuals. If they stop buying the cash-ins of third party publishers, they are initiating a chain reaction that is going to take down hardcore gaming. The only company left standing to deliver hardcore games could be Nintendo as they wouldn't be affected by people who stop gaming. They would make less money, yes. But they still have the funds to continue to make games, because they are making money off of everyone who buys their products, not just the casuals. |
What do you mean they will be making money off of everyone who buys their products? You honestly think there's enough hardcore gamers in Nintendo's fanbase to cut the cost of losing the casual gamer? I don't have any specific source, but based on experience, I would say for every hardcore gamer, there's probably 3 or 4 casual gamers. That's a pretty decent chunk of people and money.
