Gamer elitists, why do these people dump on other genres and their fans, like shooters or kinect titles? Where does it come from? What do they gain?

Shooters are a dime a dozen and require no skill to play, and Kinect, does this really need an answer?

Shooters oversaturated the market and casual gaming was a fad.

This was a silly thing to say at the beginning of this gen. It's an even sillier thing to say now.

Nice edit, but I was going to ask you to qualify that statement.

The Wii was enticing and brought casual gaming to its peak.

We won't see that this gen at all.

i edited cuz I didn't want things getting inflammatory.

And if you think PS2 sold over 150 million because of just the core, then I don't know what to tell you.

The casual market has always been there. The DS and Wii were just the first systems to directly target them. It doesn't matter if they don't hit the same peak this gen as last gen.

The gaming industry has different markets , just like any other entertainment medium and unlike other mediums, it's still relatively young.
