At the same time, these are market segments. I know you allowed for this, but it's like you don't see the importance.
Secondly, there are segments beyond genres. Some people want cheap and quick games (ala the iPhone). The actual genre of the game is irrelevant, it's the novelty of these games.
To say people don't buy games depending on there need investment is also ridiculous. People might not think to themselves 'hmmm, i like short, easy to complete games. so, i should go for that segment. let me see, what games are out in that segment nowadays' but subconsciously they will go for these games: that's why games on iPhone, DS, Wii, etc have become some popular.
Motion control, 3D games, etc. These are all segments.
There more to the video game market to genres - you are the one being foolish.
