While we highbrow gamers may look down on this, the casual market lapped it up.

Quite right, my bro.
While having a conversation with some of my bogan friends back in 200...3 I think, we were discussing games...
"Prince of Persia is coming out! Remember the old game?"
"Nah that fucking sucked shit mate. I wanna play GTA3 man! It's like fucking awesome! The fucking graphics are shit cool! You can fucking like, fucking use a fucking bazooka and fucking tear up shit!"
And I quote this from the "Green Guide" in "The Age"...
"Mr. Iwata stated, 'Many people will think we are weird for producing Brain Games where other developers are concentrating on war, gore, excessive violence and racing games.' "
Holy shit (intended), are the elements of war, gore, excessive violence considered a "normal" game now?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
