Nintendo isn't moving away from the casual market without cause. The casual market has all but evaporated. Over the coarse of this console generation. There is no reason to place a disproportionate amount of emphasis on this particular group of consumers. When they probably account for five percent of the total audience, and probably account for less then that in sales. Especially when Microsoft is over achieving in that market now with their look mom no control Kinect setup.

Nintendo has to go with the majority. Which also includes the big spenders. The casual market was a fad market, and they just aren't the force they were five years ago. They came, they played, they got bored, and they left. Nintendo holding a empty sack that is. It isn't a mistake to go where the gamers are, and not to be too terribly blunt. Those games probably sold bad, because there just isn't anyone to buy them anymore.
