The Xbox One seems to be the next machine for that market. It has that entertainment appeal.

Do you know that Kinect Adventures sold 20m units globally?


Yes I do.

 

But does anyone really want the casual gamer? They buy one or two games and developers think they have to make games bad for them to be interested. How many good kinect games were there?

A few! Check out this article by Barozi we made a while back:

It's not really casual as it might be extremely picky or unwilling to settle for crap or unwilling to invest time. I know that my family are not gamers, not casual and not dedicated, yet they played Wii Sports because it got them interested instantly. People don't understand that market and probably never will in the near future, and keep throwing crap content at this audience thinking that's what they want but it isn't.

This market is the same one that gives box-office hits like Ironman and the Avengers the revenue they deserve, because they are decent hits. The industry doesn't understand that I reckon.
