Well, it looks like the thing is that we have two different definitions of a game being "casual". I get your definition, and I guess youre completely right, if we go by that. The game can still be casual even if its not specifically targeted for them.... that holds some weight I suppose.

Fair enough, but I don't see how there could be any other definition honestly. Call of Duty is called casual.. Those games aren't aimed at literally every demographic in existent but their market cap makes them stand over nearly other triple A game. If casual had to be games that only appealed to demographics in the same way Brian Age or Wii Sports did, there would literally be like 10 home console casual games. 

There might be different "tiers" of a casual game. Maybe a smart phone game is more casual than Mario Kart. I don't think that means Mario Kart isn't casual. By your definition there would be almost no game in existence on current gen consoles that is casual, since it would either have to only appeal to casual-only gamers or it wouldn't have the sales to back it up.

There are quite a few games I would call casual.... tv/movie tie in games (e.g cars 3), Just Dance, Skylanders, most of the lego games, some nintendo games (amiibo festival, wii party U, mario party, 1-2 Switch) and more. Sure these type of games have become a bit sparse compared to last gen, but they are still clearly here.
