Yeah and Pixar doesn't make horror movies. It's not really a weakness.

  It is for most customers. They're not buying a movie, they're buying a movie player that only plays Disney movies. For me and you we can likely buy every console but most of this rivalry stems from the fact that most people buy one console. In this case the PC is the overall winning choice imo, but it's too expensive for a top of the line model. In that case the PS5 takes the next spot and the overall best choice when affordability and simplicity* are factored in. (PC can play pirated games and emulate many past consoles leading to vast overall savings but it requires a bit more technical know how then most consumers are used to. Also many consumers are not into piracy, but it is an option here)

Metroid isn't very casual, is it? Fire Emblem is definitely not for casual players. What do God of War, RDR2, and Dead Space have in common that makes them not casual? I'm really curious about what makes a game casual or not.

  Metroid is one of the least casuals but that's as casual as nintendo will get. Simple stories no blood, no dark hard themes like in RDR2 or dead space. >What do God of War, RDR2, and Dead Space have in common that makes them not casual? I'm really curious about what makes a game casual or not. Things that will make a movie casual. That's what I meant. Not casual in the sense that tetris is casual. Casual in the sense that a disney movie is casual while inception or Evil Dead is not casual. Here's a better way to put it, thematically casual and age friendly is what nintendo is all about.

    Have you played a Fire Emblem game? Most of them feature dark themes. They're just not edgy... Mother 3 would be pretty edgy, if it was ever localised. In the meantime, you can do an abortion on an evil fetus in Earthbound.
