I think it's more like: "Hey, casual gamers! How nice of to come aboard the Wii! Now, would you please stay here for a moment while I go and get back the core gamers who went to the other systems."

Right, and we see what a good idea it was to make them wait with the 3DS.  Things worked out really well for Nintendo last year, didn't they? 

I don't see your point. It was the lack of core titles (Mario Kart, 3D Land) that kept the 3DS from selling. The casuals just won't buy the system. 2D Mario may get a few over the fence (unlike Nintendogs) but most will just play games on their iPhone.

What are you talking about? The casuals love anything Mario related. (Except 2D Mario.)
