The Wii appealed to what before were non-consumers of videogames. Now anybody can “play”.
Also, hardcore games, like RE5 or GoW2, are more accessible: they can be played in nuggets of 15 minutes because the stages are shorter than before, there is a now always a very easy mode, and they can be played online with your offline friends.
I believe it is changing. Now the terms casual and harcore are fading. Next, like you said, is the term “gamer”. Nobody says they are a “TV watcher” becasue it is so mainstream
