Ho-ho-ho-holy shit! Just for the sake of clarification: so software that has mass appeal and high entertainment value are casual games?

:D The percentage of core who also buy those games are totally outnumbered by the casual audience (those who play games less seriously as a hobby).

I like your extravagant humour though XD

EDIT: This post was brought to you by the number 702. (Missed # 700...)

So what you're saying is that core games are necessarily games with limited appeal because they require a higher investment of time, energy, and skill than games in other genres. Skyrim, CoD, Mario, Gran Turismo, FIFA, Halo, all of those games are "casual" because they're so accessible and popular. Games like Vanquish, Bayonetta, Strategy RPGs, and whatnot are core.

That's definitely a definition, but in the context of my conversation with Mr Puggsly it's problematic because it means NO CONSOLE CAN MOVE CORE TITLES.

There are core games that start reaching out to the less die-hard players. In those cases, it's really hard to define what those games are. I've limited myself from calling CoD or Halo core games exactly due to this reason. They are somewhere in the middle. A core game would be say God of War. Sales of 3Mil is reasonable. Sales of .5mil is not. Just my shitty POV your questions are valid Khuutra-baby. ~.-
