Is Sony in trying to please casual gamers loosing the hard core gamers too?

I think many of you are being narrow minded about this , you have to put in to perspective everything.

Sony can't afford to to apeal to a small segment of the games market , they have to capture the casual games market even it cost's them up to 40% of their hardcore gamers market (which is unlikely) announcements like the scapping of Eight Days and Getaway sound like the end of the world to us hardcore gamers but in Sony's perspective it's neccasery that it diversify's it's products to increase it's competetivnesss.

There are still a bunch of PS3 exclusives comming this year and next Resistance , Little Big Plannet , Socom 2008 God Of War 3 , Final Fantasy , Killzone , GT5 2009.
However it is important that Sony can cater to the needs of the casual market also to an extent releasing too many exclusives would be far too expensive especialy to one segment of an entire market , Sony needs to spread the risk across several markets.

I'm guessing the re-allocation of resources and finances will contribute to more casual gamer projects and possibly the lowering of the PS3's price point (which is one of Sony's biggest obstacles right now.)
