I like some of the things he said but the whole Casual or Core propaganda is getting out of hand. Last gen gamers were gamers there was no " Casuals versus the Core" mentality. Gaming Journalist, Developers, and Publishers seem to think that if you are a core gamer that you do not enjoy core games or vice versa. This is not true for a majority of the gaming public.

Actually, all that 'casual vs core' junk started last gen.  It just exploded this gen because of the Wii and DS and Nintendos approach being 'different' than the 'HD systems'.

And the 'casual vs core' junk is just an extension of the 'hardcore vs non-hardcore' junk started back in the SNES vs genesis days.
