Yeah that's how I see it. You need those gamers who buy lots of videogames because these gamers are the ones who will buy games like Enslaved and Vanquish for $60. Niche titles are heavily reliant on these gamers. Because the mainstream gamer certaintly isn't buying these games. They are buying the Call of Dutys and Halos. There is so much competition right now as well. It's unbelieveable. Lots of studios have shut down but I'm amazed that the industry still manages to pump out so many games week after week. You'd have to think that this minority who buys lots of videogames makes up a huge chunk of the industry's revenue. This is probably even more pronounced with the porn industry. The small minority who actually pays for porn is pretty much supporting the gravy train for the masses who just download it for free.
