And Nintendo has always been about making their games as accessible as possible for as many people as possible. While it is an RPG, I've seen many children pick up and enjoy Paper Mario. So far, we haven't seen anything that indicates that Wii Music will be anywhere near its competitors in the genre (at least, not the last time I checked). And it doesn't look like Wii Music could be very enjoyable to anyone past the age of 12. I guess it came to a point where Nintendo making money was more important than Nintendo making good games.

Pot, kettle, black.
And Wii Music doesn't have any competitors in its genre. It is, for all intents and purposes, the representative of an all-new genre - not a "rhythm game," but instead a music-making game. The only thing I can think of that's been similar thus far is the highly underrated Electroplankton for DS. It may not be perfect, but at least it's something new, and even if it sucks, it may at least lead to something better in the same emerging genre.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
