The only thing that worries me about "casuals" and I mean the ones being brought in by games like Wii Sports is if they're going to be there for the long term. For example lets look at another hobby, doll collecting. During the Beanie Baby craze there were many people getting into the hobby of doll collecting, after the craze ended many people just there because it was the "in thing" got out of it. Basically I'm still not convinced that what's happen in gaming with casuals is a trend and not a craze. |
Beanie Babies fell through because the market was a bubble that burst. Therefore, it is NOT a fair comparison to gaming. By your logic, it was just a miracle Monopoly remained popular for this long, and not due to GOOD DESIGN, that STILL APPEALS TO PEOPLE. Don't care if I'm using all-caps. I want my points to be absolutely clear. |
The video game (console) market is a bubble that can burst, it has crashed twice in the past. |
No, no, NO. Don't try to twist points. This is NOT about the game market. It's about you assuming casual players will leave the game market, based on a bullshit assumption that they left beanie babies, therefore they will leave casual gaming.
