I think turning this into a war of genres is a bad idea. All genres -- sports, platform, RPG, etc. -- can produce great games. I also think turning this into a war between "casual" and "hardcore" gamer is a dead end too. Like it or not, so-called casuals are video game players too, and they're often more open-minded than so-called hardcore players.
I think it should be about being more careful with our money. Think twice before pre-ordering a game, since it sends a message to publishers that we'll purchase a product based on its brand. Think twice before investing in DLC and microtransactions, which, in many cases, destroy the integrity of a game. And think twice before picking up that annualized release at $60 when you could wait a few months and get it for $30.
