Haven't read the article yet but I am 100% positive that the casual strategy of MS will backfire in next gen. As a traditional gamer myself I switched from Xbox to PS3 because the lack of core games and because the casual strategy of MS is embarrassing.

The impression that I get is that by embracing the casual market Microsoft prolonged the life of the 360, increased its profitability and allowed their studious to focus on Trinity development in order to ensure a strong launch. Sure, the drought of core software isn't good but it's better than having to suffer through a barren launch period.

I'd much rather have consistent support later on. I can wait a year or so to pick up a new system, but after I've bought it I want regular first party releases.
