On the upside, a casual gamer meant someone who enjoyed gaming but didn't dedicate his whole time around the hobby.

Now, casual gamer means soccer moms, families and old people playing games. A gamer can buy a 360 and play Halo or Gears of War and still be casual since the concept is that you enjoy them but don't play them all the time.

 

I think this misconception is why some people refuse to accept that PS2 was successful because of casual gamers.  To them the idea that a casual might play GTA3 does not compute.
