It seems to me that the people who assume everyone who owns or plays games on the PS3 or XBox 360 is a hardcore gamer probably have never met a casual gamer ...

At work I'm surrounded by "casual" gamers who own the XBox 360 and PS3. Men who are married, have children, and have time consuming jobs that prevent them from playing videogames much. On the occassional long weekend or on vacations they will be able to play games, but they rarely complete them and they never play them online; although most of these guys played endless hours of online games when they were 18, if you're only playing for a game a few hours a month playing online is no fun.

The bulk of EVERY system's userbase is "casual" gamers ...
