Convert? Are the casual gamers doing a crusade against hardcore gamers or something? I missed those news, please post a link. Some of the casual gamers will convert to hardcore gamers later, not the opposite.

Crusade in the mediveal sense? no, but in a 21th century captialist way? yes. Overrush of casual gamers will most likely prompt overflow of casual games, which in term will make developers rushing in to make cheap, halfassed mini-games that can generate high profit.
The result? hardcore market gets left-out with mininal support.
Yes, some will convert to hardcore gamer, but will that be greater than the number of hardcore gamer quitting gaming altogether from lack of good games for them? Well, that's what the question will be in 4-5 years.
