XBOX kinect is the fastest selling gadget of all time. It has sold around 10 million copies. PS move isn't doing terribly either, with around 9 million units sold.

more and more games are indeed focusing on the casual market, the idea is everyone and their dog should be able to do it.
a sideeffect is that even the more hardcore and oldschool games are getting more and more easier remakes.

I'm not really concerned with difficulty. That's why there are difficulty settings in any half-decent game. Me, I go for storytelling and immersion. THAT's what's really getting lost.
That's part of why I didn't like Pokemon B/W. It felt more like a step by step process than a journey.

Storytelling? Last time somebody tried to tell a story it was ME3. Look where that got them. But yea, I agree with you. I used to be a hardcore gamer. I still am, in a sense, but I don't like difficult games anymore. Gone are the days when I had the time to get 5 gold chocobos. Now, I prefer something like Loom, which has no way you can die or get stuck. Still a hardcore game in one sense (the majority of people wouldn't touch Loom today) but not hardcore in the sense that there is a serious time commitment which requires you to be 'good' at a game.
I think how I define it is: 'anything more difficult or immersive than a random title pulled from the canon Legend of Zelda series is a hardcore game'. Anyone else agree with that definition?

I think by storytelling he likely just means does the game have a good plot to it and how well does it draw you in. For example FF7 has an amazing plot. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried a little when Aeris died the first time I played it. A game that can draw those different emotions from you makes for quite the game but unfortunately they're rather rare nowadays because designers just don't care thanks to the casual market being so large.
I can dig your definition using Zelda though

I personally felt enthralled by Pokemon B/W.

Yea well..I really was a town miller last pokemon game, and claimed it on my very first post.
If I get pressured into a claim, a miller one would kill me on the spot...so..yea.
