@apujanata, The only problem with the appeal of PS3 to casual gamers is that its high price right now is putting a damper on sales to casual gamers who tend to buy and play less titles than "hardcore" gamers and the fact that the Wii has already managed to gain a growing foothold in many parts of Europe. Also, as of now, Sony is still focusing more (advertising, etc.) on capturing the hardcore gamers so that it does not lose them to their main competitor, Microsoft. Compared to the Wii, the quantity of titles that appeal to casual gamers is also much less and a casual gamer would more likely want a larger selection of titles to choose from.
Switching topics. I agree with your comment towards ixaari - Nintendo has an advantage when it comes to first party titles when taken into account all the factors (quantity, quality, actual sales, etc.) over Sony. Also, recent exclusives (including all parties) on the PS3 have underperformed when it comes to sales and sometimes quality. Nintendo has more things going in the first party realm than Sony and Nintendo also has a growing number of second party titles to back it up the first party.
