Well Nintendo wanted to put out what they thought would sell best. If you look at the Gamecube #s, the only 2 franchises from their top 10 most sold that weren't released yet were animal crossing & luigi's mansion.
They released one of those along with Wii Music which was planned from the beginning for the Wii.
There is no such thing as hardcore or casual, it's all about the sales numbers ;)
