Define casual? Pretty much every Nintnedo IP is casual to me. I do not mean this as an insult. Nintendo gave handheld gamers what they want and Sony did not. In Asia the 3DS is core, in the West not so much. I know about 20 core gamers personally (across every platform) and the only ones who have a 3DS has one because of their kids. Just so you know overall the PS4 is not a core system either. It gets core games but "core" is not the theme.
The PSVita is doing ok in Japan because of the fact handhelds are more "core" there. It is not doing well in the U.S. because Nintendo better captured what the West wants |
Depends on your definition of core. Every Nintendo IP is core to me (and definatly more core than lets say CoD (even though I still consider CoD a "core" franchise). Casual to me is something like Tetris, Angry Birds, Candy Crush, 2048 (although then again, Tetris can even be a hardcore game, depending on the way you play).
