The image Nintendo consoles have does scream casual more so than the other 2 consoles on the market, not sure how to got to this stage but the Wii probably didn't help it's image ( In the hardcore sense).

Nintendo consoles have been the "uncool" console for a while now. We hear of the console wars but it's basically always been Sony vs MS with Nintendo fans waving their arms in the background wanting to join the war.

The image that you speak of is the game industry marketing. And it has been succeeding.
