Jacks is correct (portals and related stuff above)... unfortunately... the majority of the buying public can be fitted right into the segment he described...
... but consider the following.
1- hard core gamers do not constitue a major part of that segment, and in spite of this, the people who make Alienware boxes are doing a pretty good business... as are the people who make and market NVidia high end video cards... so someone out there is looking for these blur effects... quite a few someones...
2- even if the above accpeted as true, this small segment, percentage wise, is still a substanital amount of potential sales, numbers wise... and a developer looking to write the next DOOM3 killer will look at your engine... and there are enough of them out there as well (that fact is unsubstiated, my opinion, based on what i see around the 3Dengine forums i frequent)... to make this seem a viable segment for a game engine developer to entertain...
