Games cannot be casual, therefore selecting a game and saying "only casuals play it" is incredibly stupid.
a game can be casual if a huge portion of gamers that play it only care about that game, or that genre.
The reason why CoD is considered casual by so many isnt the gameplay itself, its the fanbase. Same with WoW. These games have 12+million sales (subscribers). Even the best selling games of this gen usually only hit 2-4 mill....Its kinda odd that these few games just have a 8+ mill advantage on other games. If these gamers were more "hardcore" (caring about other genres), youd see demon's souls sell 10+ mill too.
There are hardcore gamers who play CoD. Trust me, there are. Quite a few in fact. But when people say "CoD is a casual game", the reason why i somewhat agree is because there is a disproportionate amount of gamers who only buy the latest CoD/online FPS, and play it every so often. These gamers dont focus on things like gaming history, or the largest gaming news stories.
