The consumer is plenty educated about what they want to buy - companies don't neeed to tell them that. Consumers need the companies to adapt to them.

Actually most consumers have no idea what they should buy, as such they buy cheap games -- which are often games that many core gamers consider bad. These are the cosumers who think games like Transformers Wii are the best the industry has to offer, they don't know that MGS4/Halo3/FFXIII/Valkyria Cronicles/Zelda:TP/etc exist and they arn't going to bother researching about these games themselves.

Actually, it's more to do with the fact that the average consumer thinks that the games core gamers care about just aren't worth their time. They have different value sets when it comes to games. This does not make them uninformed or wrong, it just means they have different tastes.
