LOL Sony talking about the decline of others is really funny when they are on the verge of closing half of they bussineses.
Anyway. Theres no decline for Nintendo. Is a decline from Wii popularity nothing else. Nintendo is actually stronger than ever was.

Really? What makes you think Nintendo is stronger than ever? 

 

I personally don't want Sony to shift their attention to 'young' gamers and casuals. If they go down that track I'll be gaming elsewhere. 

The shift to "casuals" is already occuring.
Sony tried to capture that market with the Playstation 3 with the "Move".

Then they are making some big pushes with indies, if they secure an exclusive indie that turns out to be the next Minecraft... Meow.

However, the split attention towards casuals and the more "serious" gamers started last generation on all platforms, it's unavoidable, it's more money, which is what a for-profit business exists for.

Personally, I do agree with Sony that if Nintendo does sink it would be bad for the entire market, competition breeds innovation and lower prices, it's one of the fantastic things about capitalism.
