^Again, the issue isn't whether they are trying to get the "casual" audience, the issue is how they are going about it, they can say that they are targeting 60%, or trying to make it more social and "casual", but what you fail to note is they are first targeting the core, that's the very problem, you don't target the core and move down to the downmarket, that just proves my point about the wrong values and processes, and why they will fail. Also by targeting casuals, they are admitting a second flaw, they are going to try and use the failing casual games strategy that is crushing the third parties on the Wii, rather than trying to understand what the downmarket wants.
