| so what's the current commonly accepted definition of "gamer" here? Someone who played a game? Or is it someone who identifies themselves as a gamer because that is their major hobby? I met a few of the TV personalities when I did storyboarding for G4 and they'd hardly be considered gamers by any stretch of the imagination unless you lighten the definition a bit. When I think of a gamer I assume that the vast majority of the person's leisure time is spent on a computer or console. I don't consider myself a gamer even though I probably spend vast majority of my freetime dicking around with games in some form. |

In the end, so long as studio's continue to develop games aimed at all types of gamers, who cares? Casual, hardcore, old school, the 'lonely housewives', smelly nerds, the gamers all other gamers hate who keep EA in business by buying the new Madden every fucking year, etc...etc... There was some panic when the Wii started making ridiculous cash that we feared that the future would be nothing but mario kart and flash games, but I think those are the same fears we have about the PC gaming industry being crushed by consoles that never gets realized either. We will continue to get our Left 4 Dead, our God of War and our Starcraft for a long time to come I feel. | |

| He's actually right though, the vast majority of hot female gamers were all brought in by someone. There are some exceptions, but at least from my experiences it's been 100% true. Pretty much all of the good looking females I know that play video games were introduced by friends or boyfriends / husbands and didn't get into it on their own.

Casual Wii type games, in reference to games that requires hundreds of hours on story alone, are relatively quick and cheap to make. These are the cash cows. Make 2-3 cash cow games, make a fan service game. You no longer have to count of those fan service games to provide your primary revenue; you can churn out a re-hashed mini-game extranvaganva, throw it on the Wii, make a ton, and then go back to putting effort into the fan-service games in hopes of a major blockbuster. | |
