But that's the point, Nintendo isn't even trying to capture that kind of demographics. They are aiming for Casual/Bridge games, so 3rd parties will never be encouraged by the lack of focus in those genres by the console maker themselves. Nintendo has many unreleased games that only saw the light in Japan, where they bombed. Why support only their worst market when there's a huge market eagerly awaiting and claiming for this games? I don't understand them. If they think these games are too niche for the West, why don't they stop making them and start developing games for THE BIGGEST PART OF THE USERBASE. They are making themselves a niche developer this way.
