Top 10 Reasons Hardcore Gamers Fear Casual Gaming

The author writes up a list of things hardcore gamers fear about casual gaming, including the following:

"From 2007 to 2008, hardcore gamers have been eyeing the charts, ensuring that Call of Duty, Halo or some JRPG is at least within the top 20, given that every month on end the NPD results have given more than a handful of the top spots to Nintendo and its casual crusade. It's no longer about the PS3 versus the Xbox 360, hardcore gamers just want to make sure a favored hardcore title is on that list. It's like ensuring that your manhood is still intact after riding on a bike with no seat." (Culture, Nintendo DS, Wii)
