I never said that Kinect  is unappealing to the core. I stated its faulty and risky for Microsoft to assume there is a core market for Kinect. Kinect wasn't created to be the peripheral for everyone, but to gather up the casual market the Wii uncovered in 2006. I left that up to sm decide whether casual titles and AAA titles are one in the same.

Mario is a casual title that has a core following (and well most of its characters for that matter) because of its iconic appeal during its time and has grown over the years. Remember when I said in the past that Nintendo has a special core following? Well its true.

Microsoft had more exclusives than Sony from 2005 to 2009- in 2010-11 the numbers all all changed.

You said "I ignore kinect titles, not Xbox 360 core exclusives." Hence to you, not Kinect title appeals to the core audience. This is simply a matter of personal preference, and you take it too far. Ryse is more of a core game then almost anything shown at E3, it's made by freaken Crytek.

You keep pushing this too by saying "Microsoft has abandoned the core audience." and "Microsofts showing was considered the most underwhelming." Nowhere online do I read that 360 was underwhelming, or poor compared to the PS3 portion of the Sony show or the Wii portion of the Wii show. Compared to Sony and Nintendo's conferences as a whole, yes it got a lower grade, Nintendo and Sony have 4 consoles to talk about!

You push your opinion too much, and you shouldn't ignore casual games. A lot of core gamers look forward to these games too, like me with Dance Central 2. Yes it's designed for the casual gamer, but any real gamer who actually plays games before judging them, will enjoy this game. Especially since it's 2 player now.

The only games you should ignore are bad games, so ignoring those Disney Kinect titles, and maybe Star Wars is fine. Just don't ignore games you're not interested and then start claiming 360 has less games coming out then PS3. Face it, almost everyone in this thread accepts 360 had a better E3 then PS3's portion of Sony's E3. Just accept it and move on. If you're not interested in these games, then don't bother talking about them. Do you ever see me go on about Resistance, or LittleBigPlanet? No I don't like those games, but I do go on about GT5, Forza 4, Halo, Gears and Uncharted.

P.S. in 2010 360 saw 31 exclusives (8 good ones), PS3 saw 15 exclusives (11 good ones). So no 2010 was a tie, only in 2011 did PS3 start to see more exclusives. 1 Year hardly qualifies a trend, especially since 2012 is looking to be better on the 360. Stop acting as if 360 has no core games, most of them just moved to Kinect, it doesn't mean games like Ryse and Fable aren't core anymore because of it.
