And since you want more current examples I guess, Mario Party came out every year between 99 and like 2007, and in that time it was one of Nintendo's most popular franchises, but we still got the likes of 3 Smash Bros games, 2 Mario Karts, Mario Galaxy, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, 3 Metroid Primes, 2 Paper Marios.

So...Mario game, Mario/typical Nintendo character centric game, Mario game, Mario game, Zelda game, Zelda game, Metroid game, Mario game.
Remember what I said about success having a lot to do with household names?

The big budget, action movies are the more casual movies while the more intimate movies are dubbed "indies" So I know how the analogy works.

That wasn't my point.
My point was that in the mid-90's a lot of comic book/graphic novel movies started to be made, so others started to follow suit. About 8 (or so) years later, the movie industry explodes with a constant stream of crappy (and sometimes not crappy) superhero/comic movies.
The analogy is that superhero movies are casual games. We won't see the impact on the market
right now, but years down the line, casual games will undoubtedly envelope the vast majority of the industry. I'm not saying every casual game is crap. I'm just saying soon they will flood the market.
