Hmm, PS4, I guess? But only because it's the most popular one, so it naturally fits as the "casual choice".

in reallity this, but in my opinion the way MS market the X1 as a system for movies, games tv and tv and tv etc. plus how much they focus on the popular genres of games (shooters, FPS, and sports) on their exclusives and on their deals with multiplats like COD and Madden pretty much settles it as the system for the DUDE BRO gamer, or in other words the casual gamer who only plays its yearly COD and Madden tittle, with maybe one excluse (probably Halo or gears since they are shooters)

I'm going with X1 on this one. While it may not be the most popular system (though it's current popularity in the US seems to rival PS4's) it seems to be all about TV, sports, and CoD. PS4, while still attracting much of that crowd and is more of a popular system, has more of an attraction to core gamers. WiiU, unlike Wii, seems to be, for the most part, only attracting core gamers and Nintendo fans.



All of them are equally casual.... Yes, including the Ouya!

Xb1. Games like Skylander, Lego and Dinesy sell better on Xb1 than Ps4 in America while having even a lower installbase.

The WiiU is now a hardcore system, for Nintendo fans.
Playstation always was a gameconsole and mediaplayer. And after the Xb1 got Bluray, too now and no more paywall for apps, the Ps4 is even more just a gaming console


Last but not least: Universal apps afther windows 10 realse. This all will make the Xb1 the casual console of choice. Not necessarily the better selling, ofc

PS4 since according to Sony, every Wii casual is flooding to the stores to buy the system.

But on a serious note, I don't really think any of these system are going to get much of any casuals. Maybe the Wii U is a bit, but I think the system is basically only own by Nintendo fan and core gamers, with a small percentage of casuals. I do think the PS4 may end up being the casual system this gen. They seem to always be in the news about being the best system and the cool system to own and the casual may fall for that. But most are going to enjoy there flappy birds and Candy Crush on there smart phones.

This.

And: In the first line it should be "Every parent is flooding to the stores to buy the system for their kids"

The PS4 is the casual console of the generation.

It caters to a massive audience of non gamers/casual gamers. I mean who buys a console to play with the "playroom" option and fiddle with a "share" button? No hardcore gamers I tell ya.

Every console can be played casually depending on the owner's interests. I don't think any one is inherently more casual just because of the types of games on them, it all depends on how much it gets used.
