"C. Everytime there has been a change in the industry, it's always headed towards the casual/non-gaming market. The "hardcore" today are the casuals/non-gamers that were brought to gaming during the PSX era. Cinematics in a game? Oh boy, that's like interactive movie! Cool, i want that game! While the "hardcore" of that time (i'm in that demographic) weren't so happy with the direction. Just look at PS2:s best selling games, bridged games like GT and GTA, Singstar still in the best sellers lists, Guitar Hero sells million on every platform etc..."
THIS IS... what I want to know about. There are many forums saying that the first year of PSX and PS2 wasnt good either and they say when casual gamers are corncerned the PSX and the PS2 start casual gaming. Sorry even at my age I dunno the gaming history I only knew it from the net. BTW, we have PSX before and we still have a PS2 but we didnt buy it in its first year of launch unlike our Wii. We buy it this year we buy the PSX and the PS2 3 years after its launch care anyone tell me about it, please?
