Well, the casual market is much larger than the hardcore market, right?

 

And WiiPlay also comes with an extra Wiimote. LOL Not to knock the game, but that's a pretty good incentive for a lot of individuals to pick it up.

And I am sure there is a way for casual games and hardcore games to mutually exist. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive of one another.

There will always be developers who will want to accommodate the hardcore gamer. Even if a developer does decide to produce casual games here and there...The whole industry will not 100% agree to accommodate only the casual gamer...

 

And the casual market represents opportunities for companies to increase their resources (low cost simple games that sell well generate profits)...which can then be funneled toward more risky harcore projects.

Haven't some developers already started implementing said strategy?

 Actually yes they have, I can't give you a link but it tore up the N-Sider forums before they closed. A UbiSoft boss said that UbiSoft was using the Nintendo Wii's success to fund bigger projects on the X-Box 360 and PlayStation3. Nintendo fans were furious and I believe a clarification statement was made shortly after.

 Fact is that is exactly what the publishers are doing. The problem is they aren't funneling that money back into new Wii games. They are funneling that money into the new Turok or CallOfDuty or GhostRecon. Either way you slice it the casual market seems to be an excuse for developers to make crap and pass it off as quality titles
