According to Sean Malstrom, are we old or new world of gamers?

[Aiemond]

The new world gamers are the ones who come back from gamer drift, are new gamers brought in by the wii and the old gamers who "survive" the tidal wave (meaning they are ok with the new direction of gaming and enjoying it). So what does this mean?

Here is what is happening (basically i am summarizing what Malstom has said):

The old world and old world gamers are going to be washed away. Basically, become irrelevant. When he says this he means we will not see tons of games focusing on graphics and having epic stories and extremely complicated game play. Also, we won't see as many games with multi-million dollar budgets like MGS4, GTAIV, etc. They will still exist in some fashion, but just not in the numbers today.

Also, there will be many different types of games. Games for education, games for almost any type of group. WiiFit is just the tip of the iceberg. Shovelware will exsist, but it won't really make much money. (Shovelware is the ones who just use the crappy developers to make a quick buck with mini games etc. This does not include people who actually make a decent game for a different audience but puts time in it. WiiFit is like this as is Nintendogs. Also, good minigames would fall, in this. Just because it is all minigames does not make a game bad.)

The old world gamers are the ones who cannot accept this and quit gaming and cry over it. They will be like the PC gamers who cried over gaming dying when the NES came out. They may even quit gaming.

So, the question is how do you feel? If you are ok with the changing face of the gaming world you will be a new world gamer. If you can't accept it and are horrified, then you are the old world. This is what Malstrom means.

I know what ya mean yushire, I had a PS2 and bought 20+ games for it. I loved it. But, this gen i have a wii only and about 11 games. Some of the ps3/360 games I like and would want to play, but being just married I can't justify spending the money for the systems especially since i have no HDTV. On the shovelware, its ok not to be happy with shovelware and ports. Remember, as the wii continues to sell developers will put better teams on it, or die (especially if their shovelware sells poorly). Also, don't forget that not all games are for all people.
