We're begining to see the second stage now, ... as a result you will see more companies react by producing more "Core" gamer games along side their "Blue-Ocean" games.

Just out of interest where do you see this beginning? Any concrete signs like game announcements?

Beyond MadWorld, games like Skate It and Madden from EA have shown an interesting take which is far more related to a more indepth "core" gameplay experience than the "casual" approach they have been using with these series in the past:
