Actually come to think of it the new casual games vs. hardcore games reminds me a lot of when reality tv vs. episodic television. Some people who were used to episodic television (like Law & Order, Seinfeld, etc) hated reality tv or felt threatened by it, but studios loved them though because they were cheap and easier to produce. Some people thought they were going to be just a fad and others thought they might hurt episodic television a lot yet today it's been shown to be anything but a fad and that both episodic tv and reality tv can co-exist with both having their hits.
