Molyneux: "Casual Game Development Is Frowned Upon"

Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has mentioned how he thinks casual game development is frowned upon in the industry:

“Twenty years ago we honestly thought that [large] percentages of the world’s population would be playing computer games. And it’s not, it’s fractions of the world’s population. And I think partly it’s because we keep making games for these two separate audiences."

“We make them for the core gamers here, the casual gamers here, and there’s a big great wall between them. If you develop games for casual gamers you’re just frowned on a bit.”

Wonder if that has anything to do with Nintendo's stupidly fantastic success and major developers being very pissed off at Wii Fit selling more than their title...?
