Microsoft has the best chance at it with kinect. it's just too damn expensive right now. Casuals, besides call of duty players, wont touch ps4 because of its remote. Nintendo lost its steam and casuals dont know wii u exists

What?

I think he simply means the dualshock controller.


this. people will write it off just because it looks traditional and 'too complicated to use'

I wouldn't really consider that a casual game people get pretty pissed off over that game.

150 million people bought the PS2. I don't think casuals are so against the idea of using a normal controller. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I think Nintendo is feverishly working on coming up with something. They have a good track record, with not only Wii Sports but also games like Animal Crossing, NSMB, Wii Fit, Tetris and others. My money would be on them, though a third party may come up with something really innovative and make millions.

Tetris was made by Nintendo?

Published, propogated by and packaged with the original Gameboy.  It was the casual craze of its day.

I'm gonna go ahead and say a third party publisher. Ubisoft.

I don´t think anyone will create a 'Wii Sports like phenomenon' in this generation.

There's not going to be anything as big as Wii Sports on any of the next-gen consoles. It's probably going to be on tablets where the casual gamers are busy right now.
There wasn't anything nearly as big as that before the Wii either. During the 32-bit era I remember Tekken was popular amongst my friends who didn't normally play videogames. Mario Kart has been popular with the same audience since the N64. When the PS2 was out, games like Buzz and Singstar were popular with casual players. None of these titles sold anywhere near 80 mill.
