Sony has been humbled by Nintendo. Damnit. Oh well I dont care, hes right Nintendo did a good job, but I still think for someone who enjoyed games before this generation the Wii kinda sucks.

Sure I like having fun on the Wii, but im more about graphics and complex games. I guess at this point caring more about what a game is and now how you play it makes me "old school"

First Insomniac sharing their dev library for free, now Phil saying Wii sports is a true next gen experience? They must be high on Blu Ray or something, way too friendly behavior in this fierce console war.

Does that mean you didn't own a PS2 last gen?

And though I agree with Bod, it's important to remember that as long as there is demand, there will be supply. And since these new casuals will only expand the market, I believe there will be more than enough demand to go around.

Naz has said this, and I emphasized his point, but I'm just going to repeat it one more time just so that I don't OMG-gaming-is-doomed alarm some people.

I am not saying that single player games will go away, just that they aren't really a growth area anymore, while multiplayer games are exploding. If you mind your games being a niche and insist that your tastes represent the future -- the essential, most important form of the medium, then you're probably in for a disappointment. If you're willing to accept the game styles you like no matter how they come to you -- be they Final Fantasy XIII mega-budget epics or quirky, fun smaller games like Professor Layton and Zack and Wiki, then you're fine.
