I know Nintendo made it tough, but so many people still think the Wii-U is an addon for the Wii system and not a platform itself.

Again a Nintendo based issue but explaining to people the difference between DS, DSi,2DS, 3DS, N3DS and all the XL models in-between them, most non core gamers just don't know what each model offers.

Not sure really I guess just a question of "how can you enjoy playing games" is the odd one for me, from people who have things like drinking alcohol as their hobbies, just like... yeah buy games from psn for the ps4 that cost about the same as a drink and enjoy them for hours without hurting my body. (honestly Tomb Raider definitive edition for the ps4 is 6.99 now, the price of drink outside here in Ireland)

I completely hate all of these except #4. Not that I have anything against dedicated gaming handhelds, but they truly have fallen behind smart phones. It's not really a viable to talk about physical controls anymore, seeing as phones have crazy peripherals these days to fix that. Yeah, phones lack amazing games for the most part, but there's no reason why they can't have them. I gave up on handhelds the day a guy showed me he could play Super Mario 64, in his car, on a phone screen, with a controller.

  Uh....I'm not sure why you're asking this question? I think you are missing the point I was trying to make.

Mainly, most casual gamers that I know aren't raging smart phone fanboys. They just tend to like simple, accessible games.

 

I'm asking it because I don't know any person, whether they are casual or hardcore gamers, who dislikes Tetris.

 

My friend Andre, he's the one. We should all band together and stop him.

People who pronounce Mario as "Mareio."

I'm pretty sure casual gamers don't even say framerate.

I'm pretty sure that's also just a jab at console gamers

3. Games promote sexism, violence, racism, etc.

^That one pisses me off.

I grew up watching violent cartoons like Popeye the sailor man, Roadrunner, and Tom and Jerry. Does it make me wanna blow up stuff with sticks of dynamite? Nope

Same goes for video games.

 

Damn this lag.

To be fair, there are too many FE characters in Smash IMO XD

Nothing, really. Most casual gamers I know don't really talk about gaming much, beyond "Tetris is fun" and "I'm really good at solitaire!"

The person you are referring to sounds more like....a smart phone fanboy, I guess?

This. Although I can see casuals say a few of the things the OP listed, in some circumstances and with some conditions met.

What are things that non-gamers/casuals say about gaming which pisses you off?

 

here's an example list I made:

 

1. Pokemon is a game for kids.

 

2. Why get a gaming device if you can play games on your phone?

 

3. Games promote sexism, violence, racism, etc.

 

4. Handhelds are such trash. Phones are superior.

 

5. buying games is such a waste of money.

 

6. Why can't games like Uncharted be on my phone? 

Of your list, I can see some (well, far too many is more correct  ) casuals swallow bigots' bullcrap and say something like your point 3, and if they are tight fisted f2p gamers, they can agree with point 5 too. True casuals will play whatever is available on the platform they play on and that attracts their attention, they won't care about exclusives of platforms they don't own, and in most cases they won't even know about their existence. True casuals won't say negative things about platforms they don't own, they just won't care about them at all.

Edit: PS: True casuals will definitely play Pokémon Go and they won't consider Pokémons kiddy-only stuff, heck, they have no problem to play Candy Crush, Angry Turds and so on...
