That's a horrible analogy.
You have to realize that the NES is closer to the Wii direction than the Wii U at the moment.

I think the analogy is quite apt. If these casuals have any loyalty, where are they now? *crickets*. They're not supporting Nintendo, they are bailing out and if what they want is cheap 99 cent games that are basically a distraction for them for 10-20 minutes a day .... let them have what they want.
Why expend so much energy on an audience that really doesn't give a sh*t about your type of product in the first place? They had their fun with Wii Sports, it was a fun fad for a couple of years, and most have moved on, with a chunk sticking around for Just Dance, which is probably on its own way out in a year or two as well.
Good for Apple and Google/Android, but honestly if after owning a Wii for 4-6 years, all you want is Angry Birds ... as far as I'm concerned, there's the door, don't let it hit your ass on the way out. I'm not shedding any tears over this "supposed" audience bailing out and going elsewhere.

Your bitterness is entirely misplaced. Direct your invective towards 3rd party publishers.

Just telling it the way I say it, maybe a different opinion from some, but I think it's the elephant in the room and everyone's just afraid to say it aloud.
If I owned a 3rd party company and it was my own money and livlihood, I wouldn't make some big budget core IP for the Wii either. Not for that audience.
If Nintendo themselves can't even get these people to bite on something like Metroid or Xenoblade, what freaking chance do you have as a third party? You're either going to make some stupid mini-game collection to try and cash in on Wii Sports or stick with some kind of licensed kids property (ala Lego or Disney) to try and work some angle.
