Cammie is a marketing person. Nintendo has chosen to market its systems based upon fun (rather than over-hyping specs or belittling the competition). So it is her job to convey fun.

Fun appeals to those who think of video games as play. It does appeal to those who think of video games as a challenge. Hence lies the rub.

PS -- Cammie is no dummy. Her degrees from U of Richmond and Harvard say that.

What a pretentious post. Last I checked, the PS3 and 360 offer plenty of fun. They're also marketed as such. When Cammie threw a disc for a dog to catch it, that didn't really look fun. Nor did a lot of other things she showed off.

Why thank you for the complement!

Seriously though, it is how I think of the difference between the "hard core" and the "casual" gamer.  If you are trying to complete a game and rack up all the achievements, you are in it for the challenge rather than to just have "fun."  Meanwhile, others play just to have a good time. 

I will admit that it does come off sounding a bit harsh and certainly the two states are not mutually exclusive.

 

Looking at other comments, the problem with Cammie is that she appears to be "fake" -- and there are just some people who are that way no matter how sincere they are about something.

Since I doubt that virtually no one here (participating in this particular forum discussion) has met her or talked with her, making presumptions about what is in her heart is really being pretentious.

So if you have met or talked with her it is OK to make presumptions about what is in her heart?
