I can't disagree with that. People are always going to look for different things in gaming. Even on these forums, members have tastes that vary greatly.

Actually, on my Vita, I look for games that fit the "mid-core" label to play when I'm on the road, though I also like deeper experiences when I'm at home. I'm definitely more interested in high-quality mobile games than I am the super cheap games some people play.


I'm still waiting for a good T-RPG tough. But there are seriously good mi core games (my favourite one being plague inc).

Do you thing the public shifting from casual to mid core means a shift from midcore to hardcore that could improve concoles sales next gen ?

I think a lot of those who buy mid-core might be happy with where they're at, possibly leaning more toward the casual side.  Still, the range for everyone is different, and I'm sure there will be some people who get a taste for an immersive experience and then look for something deeper.

If I had to break gaming demographics down into core areas, it would be something like this:

casual  ->  mid-core  ->  core  ->  hard-core

 I know that's a rough generalization, but I think it serves well enough when talking about gaming as a range, as I think very few people fit only one of those labels at a time.  There are even people who play at all levels.  Someone who likes mid-core experiences the most might dabble in both core and casual.  Someone who plays a hardcore Korean MMO might skip everything else except casual games on their phone.
