While I agree that casual gaming is becoming a larger market, I don't believe that it will start to eat into the hardcore profits. They're two completely different markets. I play cell phone games when I'm bored and not at home, but when I'm home I'd rather play a console. I don't see Apple eating into the home console market at all, cell phone/ipod games lack the quality effort put into it that go into console games.
