...the ultimate button-masher game! This is a game that rewards the player for pressing the buttons as quickly and randomly as possible. Kids will go crazy for it (ever seen one get near a piano?). Each household should have a copy of the button-masher game. Not only does it keep the kids busy mashing buttons (thus not mashing each other), but it generates zillions of RSA keys for you!
"Your average, casual gamer, does not have a whole crapload of time in one sitting to spend getting into a game"
There are games for these types and there are games for hardcore gamers. Don't try to shoehorn the industry into serving one demographic. Take me for example: my PC tells me when I am allowed to eat, sleep, or do something fancy like go to school. I probably wouldn't like your short and sweet games nearly as much as my epic and complex games. Coincidentally, I also love really long books (when I'm given permission to read). To conclude, let's all be more careful before grabbing the proverbial tiller.

Amazon should look into it's own Gold Box and hope it finds a discount on a corporate diversification plan.

You are more on the mark this time, thank you. All we can hope for is game genre density to match the corresponding density in consumers.
