John Welch was in a interview and had a lot to say'

“Casual games are becoming more complex and hardcore games are becoming more casual. Look at the Wii — I don’t think it’s a ‘casual’ platform, because I don’t think any proprietary dedicated gaming box can be ‘casual’, but I do think it represents the casualization of the console gaming industry. And as the casual player becomes more sophisticated, more educated, they demand more.”


"Just as the consoles are waking up to the opportunity of being a bit more casual," concluded Welch," we must make sure we don't fall into the same trap they did by getting too complex and losing the masses."

John Welch, CEO of PlayFirst had this to say.
