Will Microsoft steal the casual crowd from Nintendo?

Xbox has an identity crisis. It doesn't know if it wants to be a games machine or a multimedia hub, casual or hardcore...etc. Microsoft will have a tough time balancing all of this out at the beginning of next-gen.

IF they can pull it off though...they could be market leader. But who knows what Sony has planned. They'll attack that market as well.

They can be both. You must be aware of the new studios, both XBLA and retail, that MS has acquired over the past few years.

Its identity will be the true Jack of all trades

Yes, of course you can be both but you need to put much more focus on 1 over the others on a new console launch and that should be its games. Judging from Microsofts last 2 E3s, they'll focus on the services and apps. Just an educated guess.

This. I must correct you though, Microsoft has been dead focused on being a multimedia house for three E3's now which is why they were all lackluster.
