To those who don't understand my 60 million in 2008 prediction

Hey DMeisterJ, casual gamer does not equal grandmas. GTA is one of the most casual games in the world. A friend of mine, 24, has an XBox with maybe only 4 or 5 games, and mostly crappy games because he's casual and just buys maybe 1 random game a year. But he loved GTA and would come over to play it. He wouldn't do A SINGLE MISSION. He'd just steal a car and drive around and find secret items and look for the fastest car and the coolest jumps. He could do this for 3 hours straight. He wouldn't even save his game, but he'd come over later and do it all over again. He was also not a grandmother.

Nintendo is showing third parties the way by making a good mix of hardcore games like Zelda, Metroid, Mario, and Smash alongside a good mix of casual games like Wii Play, Mario Party 8, Big Brain Academy, and Wii Sports. Third parties are paying attention to what sells, and the biggest games are going to be Wii Play and Galaxy, which are completely opposite on your magical mythical casual/hardcore spectrum.
