ppl moved on to the ps3 when the ps2 was still also selling maddens,cods,fifas after the ps3 came out.slowly but they came.. now the ps4 is already starting out at 400$ and doesn't have to wait over a year to hit that mark when the ps3 finally took off at that price and never looked back,and what was that big casual game that got the ps3 to 80M(eventually wll be over a 100M)??? I don't recall the big casual game for the ps3 that moved tons of ps3's. I think you under-estimate just how large the hardcore crowd actually is...also there are casuals that like good graphics and they will move on quicker than you think/give credit for to buy a better looking madden/fifa/cod(especially on year 2,when the sports game finally get a real next gen look)

For a long time i over estimated how large the hardcore crowd is. When a game like Dark Souls, which is poster boy for hardcore game, can't sell more than 2 million copies per platform. It really shows how small the vocal minority is. If i was not on vgchartz, i would think Dark Souls sold some 30-40 million copies and The Last of Us is at 12 million already. 

I do agree that some casuals do like good graphics as that is the first thing someone notices. I mean the attach rate of Call of Duty on these two new next gen consoles should tell the story. 

People have diverse tastes not everyone enjoys dark souls some (probably the majority) people find it boring. That still doesn`t mean they are not dedicated gamers.
