I think core gaming as a whole is standing on a massive shift.. with the casual audience away to better places..its gonna be really hard to convince that core audience to buy your triple A game.. especially with every other company out there trying to convince you of buying their game.. there won't be enough money from the core audience..  portable already shifted away with its audience and there is nothing any of them can do anything about it.

Peope underestimated the sales casual audience were responsible for. Revamping the E-store won't help... Nintendo should have gotten more pro-active to go after the indies but thats too late now.. they are gone and never going back.

replace all of your "core" with "mainstream" and I agree.

5% or so of the hardcore gamers are actually hardcore gamers the rest is wannabe ones called mainstreamers.
