wait, Rachael Ray called it Wii Play "the greatest game ever"?

Well, that settles it, GOTY is given. Everyone else needs to SHUT UP!! IGN, Gamespot... clearly have NO IDEA about anything regard gaming.

Sarcasm aside, Yes, casual gamers are taking over, but it doesn't mean I will convert. Being a gamer is already a 'niche' hobby, I don't mind being a 'niche' gamer either.

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.


That's completely true. That is how most hardcore gamers were to begin with. They were once casuals.


Thats completely false. There will be way more hardcore gamers converting to casual than casuals converting to hardcore.

Why ? Hardcore gamers are around 12-22 years old. After that age they cannot afford to be hardcore anymore (unless they play games for a living but thats just 0.01% of gamers). They get a job, they get a familly, so here is how hardcore gamers became casual.

When my parents were young there were no video games. So they are not into games. Thats why most gamers were hardcore until now. But now we are starting to see a lot of ex hardcore gamers growing up and going casual.

In conclusion the hardcore gamers number will stay as it is, but the number of casual gamers is increasily at a crazy rate.
