In a sense, I agree. For example, the new Super Mario was never a real challenge but yet, almost everyone who played the game loved it to bits. Of course there has to be some level of difficulty but having games at the level of God of War or Devil May Cry all the time would really get tiresome quickly. If you look at some very fun and impressive games, alot of them are never overly difficult. Prince of Persia Sands of Time series, Gears of War (ya it had it's hard moments...but it was still fairly easy), almost all Zelda's, heck I think almost all the post SNES mario games have been pretty easy.

I do appreciate a really hard game every now and then, but having a constant stream of tough games without something that keeps it easy for you would just turn me (and I'm sure a lot) of people off of gaming. I'm sure there will be plenty of games that offer a challenge but I don't see too big of a problem with some easier games. The time to raise a red flag is when we start seeing games like Brain Age and Nintendogs take priority over the Zelda's and Metroids.
