Cross out gamers and write in readers and that is exactly the defensive response being seen to the success of the iPad.

This statement about the Wii is completely true. It's not a disparaging statement about casual gamers. It takes countless hours of dedication to become proficient at games like Halo. Nintendo brilliantly recognized that there was a huge market of people who want to pick up a game console every once in a while and not have the game be over in 30 seconds. That's why Microsoft is coming out with Kinect, which they openly state is aimed at "casual" gamers.
