its a very real simple reason.

Nin does not have a brutal action game like God of war.... a crazy looking shooter like Geras or online king Halo ? it does not have a racer like Gran Turismo where you will literly spend a few hundredth hours on it no problem.

they rule the kiddy games but that it, hell their best dev is all agianst violent/brutal games.

Blah, that's a load of BS (excuse my French :>).

Many of the "casual" gamers I know are ONLY into violent games. Teenage kids, a couple of my mates. I definitely wouldn't consider them hardcore gamers - just casual gamers, who get sucked in by the premise of extreme violence.

As always, it comes down to the "definition" of a hard-core gamer (a discussion we still haven't resolved at work, and is still being argued around the web).

Casual gamers tend to play games that fit their demographic - teenage boys play violent killing gamers, males play shooters, young girls play Sims/horse games/Barbie games, etc. When people start playing OUT of their demographic, there is a better chance they are "hard-core". So its not the TYPE of game they play - rather how the type of game compares to WHO they are.

(try arguing Im a "casual" gamer for instance - I have been developing games/coding for more than 20 years now, play games most of my spare time, have 700+ posts on this board, ran a games company, etc. And I HATE violent games, racers & don't play FPS's anymore. Just because I enjoy "kiddie" games, that doesn't make me a casual gamer at all!).
