Well I'm going by what happened with the PS2 and the Wii l0l.

Was the PS2 considered a 'casual' console during that gen...? Maybe it was since it served well also as a DVD player? xD

Until the disc drive broke.  That is why they sold so many.

Oops.. I meant disc drive but I believe you knew what I meant.  There was a problem with the laser or something going bad on them.

Maybe that was the problem one of my PS2s had. After awhile it would have trouble reading discs... : X

I guess the PS4, but only because it's the most popluar console this gen.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

this isnt even a question. its the ps4. the console that pushes the biggest numbers is always the console that has the biggest audience of casuals. wii had the most casuals, ps2 had the most casuals, and ps1 had the most casuals. thats just the way it is.

PC? None of the consoles this gen have really grabbed the casuals' attention. It could change with VR but who knows how that will playout.

I think it's the one which sells the most by default.

WiiU clearly.

Its still 90% kids and Mario Kart.

The console with the biggest install base always has the most casuals.

So by this definition it's easily the PS4. I wouldn't call it the casual console though.
