I think PS2 type casual-mainstream type of gamers are back with PS4, casuals moved on to mobile/social games.

Yes phones and tablets will kill some sale..  but mostly when it comes to handheld..  and as i also wrote in the op.. i don't expect this gen to be as big as last (+280)

But read OP.. (i don't expect you to have :) you will see that I ask.. What do you think is important for the "casual" videogamer.. (not if there will be 10 or 100 mill)

Also, literally no casual cares about resolution or framerate.

Why does this thread assume the the majority of Gen 8 console owners are hardcore? The hardcore will never be the majority, not even at the beginning.

This is only anecdotal, but I know dozens of gen 8 owners. Know how many are hardcore aside from me? One. And he's never even been on a gaming site.


Because from dk believes the "casuals" will suddenly swoop in and save the wii u, he probably still believes the statement in his signature.

That's true. They're just gonna ask "On which one do the games look better?" and the clerk will point at the PS4. At least that's my experience with "casuals" buyng consoles.

I think early adopters.. have the highest "procent" of hardcore.. (and yes I also think that "casual" is the fare biggest group) but that is not important for this topic.. theerefor I leave it out.

Have you read what the defination for "casuals" is in this tread.. future buyers who don't prefer one brand over and other but look more at games and price.. 

So why not just answer the question :)

I do expect WiiU to start selling better... but this tread is not about WiiU.. It's about the casuals.. and why do you become personal..

The lack of understanding what a CASUAL is is pretty disturbing lol.

Tetris is a casual game and its a hardcore game both at the same time. Hardcore is not the opposite of casual whatsoever and never was and never will be.

Think about it.
