Casual gaming will be popular according to BBC

Is it just me, or does this story seem a bit dated? According to a BBC piece, the casual gaming sector will be seeing a popularity spurt this year. But, well, what else is new? We've noticed an explosion in the last couple of years in the cell phone market alone. If you wander the streets of any town or city in Europe, Japan or America, you'll see that the explosion has been happening all around us. Hell, when did Solitaire come out for Windows? Has any casual game been played more than that one in offices around the world? Then there's Tetris, which even grammas play. Maybe those of us who frequent, oh say, Joystiq, are in the trenches a bit more than the BBC. What say you?
