I really hope that MS does shift its focus to casual and leave sony as the only hardcore option. It would benefit sony to give them less competition, and they would probably pick up a few franchises in the process. Heck, MS can duke it out with ninty and leave sony in its own " blue ocean ".

Can you give me examples of how MS focuses on the hardcore?

MS focuses on the hardcore just as much as Sony does.  In some ways, especially with all of the online play that is Microsoft's bread and butter, they are more hardcore because they demand that online users have broadband, and have equipped consoles with headsets.  A shift to casual games will be stressful for MS......they will have to abandon what has worked well, and become an innovative company, a creative company like Ninty versus the focus on things like online play that it has going for it now. 

 

You won't want to use Natal for online.....it will probably be kinda imprecise.   

Headsets come with the console.  Online does not make anything hardcore.  1 vs 100 says hello.

MS is quite varied in the genres and types of experiences that they produce.
