There was this theory that usually, casual only start purchasing a platform (like PS2) late into the platform life (like when PS2 was $150 or $100 in 2004 - now). With Wii, Nintendo managed to turn around the cycle, and instead of casual being the late adopter (so to speak), casual are now the early adopter of Wii.
The theory also said that casual only have one platform each generation. The have PS1, they have PS2, and it is possible that this generation, they only have Wii. There is no deny the current attractiveness of Wii for casual market. Wii Sports + all those mini-games fest really apply to casual. Also Guitar Hero III, a very good casual game.
IF the above theory is true, PS3 may never see the kind of casual owner like PS2, since the majority of casual owner already bought Wii, and do not buy second platform this gen.
