Kotaku on Nolan Bushnell

Kotaku had an interesting article on a presentation made by Nolan Bushnell, the early game pioneer who founded Atari, and then founded the Chuck E' Cheese Pizza chain.  In the presentation Nolan mentions that in 1982 there were 44 million gamers, today there are 18 million.  He states that violence lost the woman gamers and interface complexity lost the casual gamer. 

I prefer games where you win by your wits rather than by reaction.  I can't stand having to remember to push the left button twice, right button once, while holding the left stick down just to achieve a specific move.  You shouldn't have to play finger twister in a gaming environment.
