Do mainstream gamers really care about anything besides Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Madden, and FIFA?

So mainstream gamer is the new casual gamer? "These four franchises are the only ones part time gamers care about". Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Madden, & FIFA are mostly played by what would be described as casual gamers, with some exceptions of course.
But hey, I guess you can come up with a new term that means the same thing, then exclude all things Mario, sure.

We cannot really count Mario. Can we? No one seriously looks forward to another Mario game. I.E wait in lines at night, only game they buy that year, etc.

In that case I think you're thinking of bro gamers, not mainsteam gamers.  Are you really suggesting Mario or Pokemon isn't mainstream?

"No one seriously looks forward to another Mario game. I.E wait in lines at night, only game they buy that year" Well, since people ONLY played Wii Sports on the Wii, yes, Mario is the only game they buy. /sarcasm
