Smartphones and tablets. Casuals want quick, cheap and easy games. An Android/iOS games costs US$ 0.99. The casuals are completely lost forever.

yes, but they are instantly able to drop $600+ on any gadget that "wow"s them

 Of course. But that is a phone. Everybody needs a cell phone. And people like to buy things that they can show to their friends. Talking about non-geek people, a Galaxy S3 or iPhone is like expensive clothes, it creates a status. A console can't do it. In the list of priorities for casuals, tablets and smartphones are ahead of consoles. And these two things are pretty expensive and you have to buy a new one in less than 2 years if you still want to have the "wow" device, so they keep demanding a money that could be for consoles.
