There in lies the problem. Your selfish in your thinking. Move may have failed so PS3 is still a primarily core gamers console, but Kinect succeeded where it failed and now we 360 gamers gotta share with casuals. Kinect did push 360 is casual gaming and media navigating, as it enhances the 360 as a media hub, which is what MS wants to do.

I think you are in no position at all to say what Sony thinks is right given their state and their missteps in gaming this gen

Ok. So you're trying to prove a point to me by boasting about Microsoft 1uped Sony by turning their console into a cable box? Sure bro. Sony made a lot of missteps this gen, but navigation isn't one of them. Sure, thats a creative and secondary decision, but its not important. This is called the games industry. The Wii was the highest selling casual device this gen and yet still got the least use behind the 360 and PS3. More people are STILL using Netflix on the PS3 because not only does it have a Blu Ray player but it also doesn't block you from using your subscriptions to Netflix and Hulu. If it is condoned to slow down game production and beef up the secondary aspects of a console and make them primary then the gaming industry is going in a direction that will not benefit gaming and it will continue to get worse. 

Yes, MS seriously 1uped Sony this gen in regards to expanding the audience to casuals while retaining the core fans. For gaming to get out of "the mothers basement" you have to get gaming to a true mass market awareness. Core games will always be a integral part, but now it has evolved to a point where we gotta share with casuals.

It sucks that theres gamers like you that want gaming back in the old days, where games were catered solely to the core.  gaming You either adapt to change or you get left B3hind

"If it is condoned to slow down game production and beef up the secondary aspect"

This isn't Sony......MS actually has money to do both. They have created many studios in the past year, they still get game deals especially with XBLA. They dont make them in house but they are 360 games that PS3 doesnt get. Same result. And Kinect has pushed Xbox into mass market status. Check yourself.
