Casual Game is better
"The casual and quick game is doing better than “movie-realted” brands game."The poor performance of movie-related brands and some of the console ports indicates that games companies can no longer afford to rely on brands alone to achieve sustainable sales," said Pamela Clark-Dickson, editor of Mobile Games Analyst." [news.bbc.co.uk]

“Analysts say that mobile games appeal more to the "casual gamer", who is looking to play for short periods of time, than to dedicated gamers.” [news.bbc.co.uk]

“Casual gamers include a large proportion of women, and the games industry is keen to tap into that potential market too.” [news.bbc.co.uk]
