Yep. I believe that the people who bought a Gameboy for Tetris were all herded into deathcamps by hardcore gamers and never heard from again. That is why something like the app store from iTunes is of no threat to the current Nintendo game market.

So many puzzle games are going the way of the AppStore. That people don't see this point is way beyond me. Is it denial or blindness, I'm unsure honestly.

It is the exact same thing as when people said that the Wii had nothing to do with the current HD twins, I.E. it was a 'completely different market' so they counted it separately like HD consoles AND Wii to the side. Of course when the Wii started selling with <30% market share it was 'allowed' to enter into the current generation game market because it wasn't as much of a threat to peoples ideals.
