To me, "casual games" are the same as "pop music". They are the most debased creation imaginable within the confines of the artform, but they are inexplicably wildly popular.
This is the main reason that I'm not really bothered by the fact that the Wii is outselling clearly superior consoles. Miley Cyrus outsells Animal Collective, but no one takes this to mean that Miley Cyrus is the better artist. The same applies, in my view, to the fact that Wii Fit outsells Demon's Souls.
I really don't understand the definition of casual games that would have it that they are any game that can be played with family and friends. Champions of Norrath and Tekken are not casual games, but they are games that you can play with your family and friends.
