Totally agree HappySquirrel, I own all last gen consoles along with DS, Wii, 360, PSP and getting PS3 this christmas but yet I fit into the casual gamer bracket cos I really enjoy the most playing Wii games as the wife loves them and we really find it fun to play together.
Spend about 40 hours a week playing games (i've actually took this week off work just to play phantom hourglass and the orange box and chill for the week) yet thewife and I are classed as casual users by these stupid articles.
There's no such thing, as the wife is into gaming also we dont have a budget to spend on games, we just buy them if we like them and as the wii is her favourite console and the wife always gets last choice these people dont seem to realise they could have a lot more of our money if they were a bit more savy.
Those people that think they're perfect give a bad reputation to us who are...
"With the DS, it's fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won't have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick - so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that." - Phil Harrison, Sony
