I blame the Wii for opening the pandora box of causal gamers who would not return and I blame Nintendo for not attracting them back to home consoles.

So it's really Nintendo's fault for not making a true successor to the Wii because we all knew Sony and Microsoft were less likely to do so.

Its funny cause during the gen, people would complain that the Wii was for casuals and demanded a more hardcore system. Funny how it works.

Wii U isn't a hardcore system though, either.  It's not competitive graphically with Microsoft and Sonys offerings and even if it aschews motion controlls for dual analog it's still a gimmicky controller.

I have to disagree. Once it lost motion controls as its main use of control and used a controller, it stopped beeing aimed at casuals and became aimed at hardcores. Hardcore is not just someone who likes pretty graphics. Its someone who likes to play good games without gimmicks.

It wasn't aimed at casuals, either.  It tried to be everything to everyone but didnt realize what would actually appeal to either crowrd.  A real hardcore system would have sold better I think, not great, but more on pace to at least match the N64 in numbers.
