I agree with most of what you said, but I have to question this. Does anyone really believe the PS2 got to where it is now catering only to "core" gamers? I mean, 120 million core gamers? I just know so many people that bought it (and still is buying it) for games like Singstar and Buzz the Quiz, and because it was just so damn cheap, that I find that very hard to believe.
We're talking about the console and company that saw game franchises like Eyetoy Play, including Eyetoy Play Sports, become relative successes (for their budgets) calling the Wii and games like Wii Sports and Wii Play "just a fad". A company that sells pink consoles, with pink remotes, at a premium acting as if women weren't a big part of the market you have to win to get to 120 million units sold.
