Wow! Its like a veil was lifted from my eyes! Everything is clear now!



"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

All are very easy in concept and control and are thus casual games.


Bullshit, have you seen a non-gamer play a FPS? But ok since you define "casual" and "core" gamers as you please you can "prove" anything LOL.

@Kyros Lmao 10x more powerful?


Yup, easily its the difference between the newest technology 2006 and upgraded technology from 2000. 6 times the memory, a GPU with 32 shader pipelines vs. no shader at all, and a CPU with 7 cores with 3GHZ tact vs. one core with 730MHZ. But this discussion has been done to no end so I don't want to reanimate it. Performance comparisons between different architectures is notoriously hard but the order of magnitude is definitely correct.

"have you seen a non-gamer play a FPS"

All the time at the local internet café. Guys go there all the time to just casually shoot some rockets at each other.
