There are two types of hardcore gamers out there, real hardcore gamers, and passive hardcore gamers. The real ones are the ones who will play the Zelda's and the Mario's as well as the Final Fantasy's etc. They are the gamers who play the epic games that require thinking as well as skill. The passive hardcore gamer, on the otherhand, prefers to have his or her hand held through the game while they kill things. Halo 2, while being a great game, requires little thought thought, you see something, you kill it, you move on. That is the market that is considered hardcore, and if Nintendo can appeal to them as well, there won't be a console war anymore
