Everything must GO!
My gaming resolution is to play less games, but I've failed at that for the past 10 years of my life so my REAL gaming resolution is to:

not feel guilty about playing video games all the time.
lol cheers and happy new year

GamesRadar's predictions for gaming in 2009
From the article on how the wii will be ignored:

"And if we don't give it a second glance, the casual market who own the majority of Wiis certainly won't."

I dunno if your reasoning here is sound.

As a semi hardcore gamer (play video games about 4 hours a day) I have absolutely no interest in the wii fit, the best selling game right now for wii. I know five other people with wiis who don't want a wii fit. The only people I know that do want one are my mom and my sister.

My experience might not be universal but I don't think the kind of games we're interested in is going to have much bearing on what casual gamers want. It definitely has in the past and I don't debate that but it could be very possible that millions of people will be very happy to play games that none of us would want to pay attention to.

For example look at the long history of barbie games or movie based games on the various platforms. I certainly don't give much thought to these games' existence but considering how many of them there are and for how long they have been around, some money must be in the business.

Having to satisfy the hardcore gaming crowd is definitely not a prerequisite for a developer to put out a game and we could definitely see a lot more crap games out there in the future thanks to this trend without us having any say in the matter.
