Smaller gaming population will mean big publishers will be less likely to green light big budget projects. Also they will focus on exsisting IPs instead of risking potential losses on a new IP.

Now i dont know about you guyz but the idea of less original/new IPs defies the point of gaming for me. I for one do not want to be playing a continual line of sequels until the end of time.

Hopefully Kinetic and Move and rejuvenate some of the casual market.
I wanted to say something to that, but Mappy and Blackhand beat me to it.

Look at it like this:
Without the casual market, games like MW2 with all it's infinite crap and AC2 with the DRM would have failed misserably, and the people who proposed those ideas would have been burned alive. Without the casual market, bad game ports would simply not exsist because the community that demands quality wouldn't allow it. Without the casual market, SC2 would have LAN support and no lag.

Just a few examples that are most prevelent right now.
