I disagree with pretty much the entire article. Hardcore gaming isn't going anywhere.
I seriously doubt a company such as Square or Capcom would drop a huge amount of hardcore titles just to make software. Most of their sales come from Hardcore gamers such as myself.
And even so, The new "Casual" crowd Nintendo is bringing in with the Wii and DS a fair percentage of those people will want more hardcore games. There will always be a market for the Hardcore.
All Hardcore gamers started out casual, Nintendo is just ushering in the next wave of them.
