Because those are pretty much the only games released for the Wii over the past year besides SS, and SS is not a casual game, so it's either Just Dance 3 or bust for 95% of current Wii owners lol.

That's the thing though, the way people talk, 95% of Wii owners have a dusty Wii in a closet somewhere that they never touch anymore. Yet still almost 10% of the entire userbase bought JD3 already...

Well, it's not the casuals moving on from Wii that Nintendo has to worry about...  it's people like us who have long since abandoned the Wii in favor of 360/PS3.  You know, due to the year-long droughts of first-party games.  Nintendo has completely lost the hardcore gamer crowd, even some Nintendo die-hards are feeling anti-Nintendo.  The Wii U will probably change that, but as far as Wii goes...that system is done.

The "hardcore" have been anti-Nintendo since the 16-bit days when the Megadrive was marketed as "cooler" than Nintendo, I don't see this as a new phenomenon.
