Core gaming has always been and will always be niche. It grows every generation because gamers are always gamers and their kids will be gamers too. But the majority of people aren't gamers. It seems like there has beena big increase in gamers this generation because of all the new casual gamers. But they aren't really gamers. Some bought into the Wii Sports fad, others play Angry Birds on the Toilet, and some play FarmVille. That's mainstream gaming to mainstream people, but to use gamers it's not real gaming.
What we enjoy is niche. It's hardcore, pure gaming. It's a lifestyle and a recreation. It's entertainment and indulgence. It's niche now and it was niche 30 years ago just as it will be niche 30 years from now.
So don't worry. Nothing is going to change, because nothing has changed. It is as it should be.
