This is the first time I've heard anyone using a definition of casual gamers that specifically excluded new gamers. |
How long have you been gaming or at least following gaming in an avid manner? It's been the definition since the NES, it's only when the Wii arrived that some people lumped all new gamers into the same group as casuals because the Wii was the first home platform which along with the DS were the first to focus on catering to casuals as evenly as avid players, the software however also attracted a lot of new gamers so many lumped them together as one group. Casual was always just about someone's gaming habits once gaming developed into a consistent hobby for the person.
Casual players make up the bulk of consumers.
