Nintendo Is Right, Mobile Gaming Is NOT A Good Idea

I think you're onto something. The mobile market doesn't exactly favor those who want to make "premium" gaming experiences, and Nintendo isn't comfortable with that.

At the same time, creating one's own platform and establishing a market for certain types of games to succeed is difficult and costly in its own right.

I must say, casuals are capable of buying good games. I hate to say this, but they just need "guidance", in a way. Many of Nintendo's games on the Wii or DS were bought largely by casuals, and most were good. 

There's no shame in that. I don't believe that large developers and publishers can always rely on dedicated gamers, although establishing credibility amoung them is very desireable. And a dedicated fanbase can help point the mainstream market in the direction of good, appealing games.
