He also said the next step is to move the Core audience into the Expanded market.
Along with that he said the hardcore hysteria has not peaked with E3 2008, and it's gonna be much worse when Nintendo shows their new legacy IP games. He's mentioned that briefly, but I've read the books he's read and I completely agree with him, which is why I'm trying to warn people.
But seriously, for the longest time now almost nobody at all will listen, everybody wants to believe E3 2009 is gonna be everything they're hoping, which is basically heavenly perfection. It's like the universe really does want everybody to be "heartbroken". All I can do is respect that now, but don't say I haven't tried.
