@quarashi: Well yes. If you have been reading any of the gaming forums there is, "casual" bends in every direction. When a shitty game sells, it's because the "casuals" are buying it (and that's because Nintendo is destroying gaming). When a shitty games shitty sequel sells, it's because the "casuals" are buying the same game all over again (and that's because Nintendo is destroying gaming). Or when a good game doesn't sell, it's because the "casuals" are too dumb to buy it (and that's because Nintendo is destroying gaming). When a good game sells, it's because only Nintendos first party games sell (and that's because Nintendo is destroying gaming).
And now that the previous paragraph showed that the "casual" is actually the core of the industry (instead of "hardcore", and that's how it's always been), we could look at who the game is targeted at.
1. Sports fans.
2. People who like pick-up-and-play -type of games.
3. People who like to play in short bursts.
Number one being audience outside gaming (which equals "casual", if you have read any gaming forums). Number two qualifies as a "casual" quality (basis the same as in the first). Number three qualifies as a "casual" quality (again, same basis).
Basically every game that brings a real-life activity in your livingroom, is "casual". Some of the delusional fanboys try to argue against, with the basis of since i like it, it's "hardcore". Same goes for Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Singstar etc.
Ei Kiinasti.
Eikä Japanisti.
Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.
Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
