There aren't 50+ million Wii casuals who impatiently waited for the Wii successor. Some of them liked the dance, fitness or sport minigames, but wanted better graphics or better tracking of their movements... a big part of them moved on to Kinect. Some of them liked the dance, fitness or sport minigames and are perfectly fine with the Wii graphics... a big part of them will use the Wii until it breaks and don't care for new hardware. Some of them liked casual games and found thousands of them dirt cheap or free on tablets and smartphones and are happy with their new device. |
That's exactly why you keep creating new experiences to grab their attention instead pf chasing it. That's what expression ahead of the curve is talking about. This is also the one of the things the industry has had a lack of for the last few years in regards to those who maintain a lions' share of it's resources.
Also, there is no problem with so called casual gamers. They have been the life blood of the industry, it's just now mainstream gaming media has skewed that narrative.
