If nintendo catered to the traditional gamers, traditional gamers would buy the system, and would buy traditional games. Nintendo did not cater to traditional gamers early on, and neither did the 3rd parties, so in turn traditional gamers are not so keen on buying the system, and therefore cannot buy the traditional games that come out.
People use the sales of mature/hardcore/traditional games to prove several things about Nintendo including, but not limited to: the abandonment of the traditional gamer, non-competition, demographic, and also to portray nintendo as an outsider that we gamers should avoid or distrust.
