Why do you say that they're abandoning the lead in casual gaming? I assume it's their comment that "new system that will be more powerful than the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360". If so, being more powerful than a PS3 or XBox 360 isn't remarkable considering those devices are 5-6 years old and that's about 16 Moores-law-years ago. Being more powerful than a PS3 places you in casual gaming territory; being hella more powerful than a PS3 places you in hardcore gaming territory.

- teamonkey 16y agoThey don't reign supreme for sitting on your sofa with your family. You wouldn't expect the average grandmother to feel comfortable using an iPad to control a game. The Wii was focussed on the whole family being included. Also, four people sitting on a sofa staring at individual screens isn't the most sociable either.
