Yes I agree with that, buuuuuuuut The bulk of Sony/MS are "casual" gamers to a degree but it's kinda disingenious to use this as an arguement because I think we all know full well when the term "casual" is used on gaming message board discussions, we are talking about people who are *very* casual, as in the types of people who can't really play anything much beyond a 2D Mario, and even more than that, really don't have any desire to want to play anything much beyond that. These are people who quite honestly can't even properly play 90% of what Nintendo publishes on a yearly basis. They mainly today game on smart devices. |
So basically people whose extent of gaming is nothing more than free games on their phone that require nothing more than poking a screen with a single finger and play just to waste time were never going to buy a gaming console no matter what.
The vast majority of mobile gamers were never Wii or DS owners considering that Wii+DS sold about 255 million while the amount of people who play on mobile is in the billions.
At best you are looking at like 10% of the mobile gaming audience having ever owned a Wii or DS so it's also very disingenious to say that the Wii/DS audience and the mobile audience are one in the same.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
