Kinect Fable isnt the same as the fable franchise (which fell way down hill after two). Three was good but not great and nowhere near what Molyneux made it out to be. Molyneux is so desperate to prove how great the Kinect is as is going to put the final nail in his own games coffin by betting there is a core crowd for it. The core with a kinect will probably buy it from name value, but it isn't core. You do know the major thing that seperates casual titles from the core right? I bet you know what that big answer is! Don't hide it! lol

Peter Molyneux always over-hypes his games, and he never meets expectations.
Kinect games can be core, I already showed you. That very link you posed which defined casual games, does not label Fable: The Journey a casual game. It is not being developed for families or for a broad audience, it is being developed for Fable RPG fans.
It's core, weather you like it or not. You swung, and missed, now get over it.
360 had a better press conference then PS3 did this E3, but not by much. In the end, they were all bad. The only AAA title announced was Halo 4, that alone gives 360 the best conference. What really good game did Sony announce? Dust 514, yea I bet you have never played Eve Online, Console MMO's don't work. Starhawk? Yea a sequel to an 8/10 game pssh. Or Sly Cooper, no bigger game then any of the Kinect titles MS talked about.

lol you dont get it do you? Without a controller anyone can play the game. They've broken the wall between the casuals and core, thus making the game casual yet open for all to enjoy. An RPG without the complexities of the way we game with a controller is exactly what casuals need to see what we see in gaming. In essence, if the game isnt a rail title, then you can definitely not only(much like other kinect titles) ride the movies, but actually be in the movie. Lets see how this goes.

Why does not having a controller do that? What's so different between making a hand command then pressing a button?
If I can play a hardcore FPS such as ghost recon without a controller, isn't it possible to make an RPG with deep controls? Like I said earlier, Fable was always a simple game, by replacing A with actually jumping, and XYB buttons with hand commands, and the analog stick with leaning, we aren't exactly dumbing down the game. We could in fact remove sub menus for magic, and the emotion wheel with hand gestures, giving more commands possible then with a conventional controller.
This may help casual gamers jump into Fable, but by no means does it make Fable a casual game.
Take oniyide's analogy to Resident Evil. The on rails Resident Evil games, although more accessable to casual gamers, are still core titles. Fable is in a similar boat now, although it isn't on rails and the controls will likely be more sophisticated, it still likely won't be of the same quality as a mainstream Resident Evil game.
So if anything, treat Fable: The Journey to be like ODST was to Halo. Still a great game, any Fable fan will accept, but not as good as the mainstream titles. Still, by all definitions you have provided, a core experience.
P.S. Isn't Sly Cooper the same idea? A "game casual yet open for all to enjoy." as you put Fable? Why ignore Fable, but count Sly Cooper as a core experience?
