I'm scared to think what kind monsters are these casuals. Nintendo has been advertising the difference between Wii and Wii U. Maybe there's a resurgence of the casual crowd sleeping under their own ignorance. That sounds more mean than I wanted to say, but I already wrote it. Could it be they have a sleeping giant in the mass appeal. It won't be the same as Wii, but certainly there are plenty of them that lie in wait. OMG, best selling game for Wii U 2014: Just Dance 5. Good for them tho.

Lawl nice try, but the Wii U is a hardcore console (like the Gamecube). That's why it is doing so terribly in sales. Remember how all the hardcore was whining that Nintendo should make a Wii HD for THEM.. Well that's exactly what the Wii U is! And still, not surprisingly, they don't buy it. The hardcore never buy Nintendo stuff, that's why they always fail when they try to appeal to them (N64, Gamecube, Wii U). Nintendo is much better off ditching the hardcore model and going back to the so called "monster casuals"

Don´t you wonder why Nintendo went running back to the 'Gamecube philosophy' (disguised as Wii) right after the Wii proved its success, by doing the opposite?

I did for awhlie. Then I realized, this is Nintendo.. They are impossible to figure out.

I wonder why it doesn't expand its resources to do both. I've said it a thousand times now, but Nintendo could be like Disney and be so large of a company that it can have one image and appeal to one demographic and different image and appeal to another demographic. Nintendo got it right with the original DS, and Microsoft got it right with the 360 + Kinect.
Doing this now would spread resources too thin between two different consoles and two different markets on those two consoles, but as we've seen lately, Nintendo has been bringing in some extra help (Tecmo, Atlus, Namco, Platinum). I'd like to see it actually acquire more studios to cover more bases though.
