One thing I always wondered while watching E3 is why all the companies choose to showcase these random "casual gamer" titles. Sony had Wonderbook, Microsoft had Kinect type games and Nintendo had Wii Fit or something like that (fitness game). What I don't understand is why ever year they always have these casual type games that are targeted towards the more casual gamer. Do the targeted audience even watch E3? I want to watch an E3 where they don't focus on Wonderbook for 20 god damn minutes and have some little girl play with skittles the tiger using the Kinect. I understand that these types of games do have a target audience but I just don't believe the audience they are targetting actually know what E3 is let alone watch it. It's fine if you have a booth after the conference where people can experience these games, but I don't see the reason for a 20 minute advertisement for the game during a press conference that is watched by "hardcore" gamers. Also I want to add that it is extremely awkward watching the people play the game. They try to look like they're having fun but it's so embarrassingto watch.

With that, I ask you one question. Do you guys think Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo should stop focusing on the more "casual" type of games during the E3 press conferences?

they want sales.

Considering that E3 is one of the few events that the casual crowd learn about games that will be coming out, it would be a horrible idea not showing their casual games both family friendly oriented party games and their bloody games aimed towards young teens.

I don't know a single casual gamer who has ever even mentioned E3, and I think most of the effords towards the casuals during E3 is a complete waste. It is my clear impression, that E3 is something hardcore gamers care about, and that casual gamers would get their extremely shallow main stream coverage anyway. I think it should be a foot note, and that the main focus should be on hardcore games and gamers.

I agree. I doubt casual gamers watch E3 seeing as you have to watch it online on a stream rather than just watching it on TV. I mean I don't mind showing a tiny bit of games for casuals but don't drag it on for literally 20 minutes. That Wonderbook presentation at Sony's E3 was hell. 

Yes. No more dumb shows, Ushers or kids at stage. Emberassing for E3.

i agree, im pretty sure soccer moms dont watch E3 or know what it is, i think these type of games should be announced in a small event to the gaming press like a nintendo direct and in the same day "announce" it again on a tv show like the view or oprah or something like that, depending on the target audience

If they hate money, then yes... i doubt it.

I agree that most of us get our info from other sources besides E3. But I have never met a casual gamer who knows what E3 is. Even if someone did know, I doubt they would care enough to watch it.

Why would showing less casual games at E3 make them lose money?
