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.

Or here's something similar. "The Wii doesn't need HD graphics, it's catering to another market". What bull. What glorious bull! If it had simply supported HD graphics, alot of the 3rd party snobbing would have been purely without reason. And Nintendo and friends could have continued to pioneer the casual quality games market on their end, on the same platform. What business fail that decision was.
