hi Mr. pie. the casuals won't be back this gen. casuals don't by into gaming like core/hardcore gamers do, so it's not realistic to think that the majority of the casual gamer will buy any 8th gen. console. the Wii was a novelty, while the WiiU is more of a core gamers console. even if casuals comeback, they won't have a noticeable impact on sales.

casuals are not dedicated gamers, so don't expect them to drop their Wii's and pick up more advanced consoles. casuals don't think about advancements in technology so they won't see the point in purchasing a new console with the same name and 1 added letter.

 

OT: PS4 has a chance of doing what PS2 did, but it' doubtful. 

I don't expect near as many casuals to buy the Wii U like the Wii had, but some will be back for more. With Nintendo learning how to capture that market it should be an absolute fact that Nintendo will keep on catering to them. (In that case, they'll keep on buying.)

i'll give you that notion my little water bird buddy, but there's no much Nintendo can do to even get half of the minority of casuals back. maybe 1 for every 5 hardcore.
