I guess if you think that you have just made a professional market analysis then you should be proud of yourself, but there are much smarter statistical mathmaticians and economists looking at game trends and game sales than you. And believe me, those guys are pretty confused over the game industry right now.

In a sense you are right, if you want to compete with so called hard-core games you might fail, but if you have your own ideas you could revolutionize the game industry.

All it takes is a new idea. I picture myself as sort of a computer scientist rather than just a game developer. I am constantly in a lab trying new ideas. Like any scientist, if you come upo with a new invention you can change the world. If not, you continue to go "back to the drawing board"

I got into game design and development 7 or 8 years ago,...thats almost a whole decade ago! If I have been trying this long I will not be giving up to make bunny games any time in the future.

Casual games are fine, IM not condemning them, but I personally would rather shovel cow dung then make MArio jumping around.
