Right now, Nintendo's fighting a two-fronts-war:
1) They need to underline their commitment to "casual" gaming, because the new breed of gamers want to see that Nintendo is serious about supporting them.
2) At the same time, they have to show the traditional Nintendo followers that they need not worry, that Nintendo won't water down the deep gameplay they're known for.
Difficult task... VGChartz and other gaming sites are a very good example for traditional gamers overreacting; whenever a more accessible way of gaming is announced, the hate is pouring down in torrents.
I'd say that 1) proved to be quite a shock, so we're now in a state of 2) - becalming loyal gamers. Wii Fit is on the horizon, there'll be a healthy mix of both from '08 on.
