Here's what casual gamers will get hooked on. PRICE & BLU-RAY. That's all there is to it.

I do think Blu-Ray movie functionality speaks to more kinds of people for the long run than Wii-mote gaming. If the PS3 can continue to offer the best package they could capitalize on this introducing even more casuals to gaming.

The Sims has been very popular amongst more casual gamers. Home is a bit like this but with more customization and SecondLife like social interactivity with some sparkles of Sony's magic dust on top. I think this could be huge if the word gets around amongst casuals.
