I think Microsoft is taking the casuals for the Consoles. The Wii was exciting sparkly and new when it came out. Nintendo go a movement system that worked, people like it, and it was fun. They had a great run, and sold very well.
Then Kinect came out. Now it is the new sparkly toy for causal and movement games. While Just Dance 4 sold great for the Wii, I don't see it having a future against Kinect. Kinect can do so much more - it can do movement/dance, and expand your interaction with your Xbox.
I don't think the Table of the WiiU has the same pull. It might be fun, and I hope Nintendo can get some sales. But the console crown has gone to the Kinect/Xbox, yet much casual gaming will happen on phones.
PS You gave me the idea to make a Kinect vs Balance Board sales comparison. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=153444&page=1
