The casual vs. hardcore gamers is endlessly brought out by elitist gamers as if it's a good argument.
To be honest, when I say casual and hardcore, I really mean the people who played games in the N64/PSX era, or started playing after that. The Gamecube kinda split the community when it got labeled as "kiddy", and I think gave birth to the gamer we now call "casual". Then with the Wii, gaming became a pastime for (almost) everybody who could hold a remote, and thus the profile of games changed.

Nintendo are trying to introduce it's Wii playing population to the other side of gaming, and trying to win them over with what got them hooked on the Wii in the first place - a gimmick.
