'Hardcore' vs 'Casual': What really sells?

Defining a game (or a gamer) as "Hard-Core" or "Casual" is meaningless because it trivializes both the game and those who choose to play it ... The vast majority of Million selling Wii titles are conventional games which would not seem dramatically out of place had they been produced for the Gamecube or PS2.

That's what I said in the first post. We know that, but the industry is insistent on categorising people. As long as they do that then harcore vs casual matters because it determines the games they choose to develop or publish, as we've seen in the Ubisoft thread. They're putting the games they deem hardcore like Prince of Persia on the HD consoles and the games they deem casual like Dogz and Imagine Babyz on the Wii.
