I agree with you on this. I had a reply up top that was basically stating that sure, there are people that love gaming by themselves or when they have people over. Thats definitely cool and hey, we're all here to enjoy the games. Basically though, the trend is heading towards easy online access for people to play together, whether its friends who used to play N64 on a couch vs each other who are now 100s of miles apart, or complete strangers, gaming itself is becoming naturally more social.
Does this mean single player gamers will be weeded out? Of course not! And developers will always be catering to both crowds. I think the major flaw in this article is that the analyst assumes that most of the gaming world are gamers who stray from online games and gaming, but its becoming pretty clear that online gaming itself has become really popular with people of many age groups.
There's definitely 2 camps on the issue, and each enjoy their gaming as much as the other, but go about it in different approaches. The more developers and companies like m$oft cater to both, the more money they rack in by appeasing both crowds.
As I said before, this is going to be a very, very interesting year for gaming.
