Nintendo still has the casual support, they just need to heavily promote it this holiday and get that one big game that they will go crazy over!

In Japan you can already buy the Wii U with Wii Sports Club + Wiimote bundled:

Quite frankly it hasn't done sh*t for Wii U sales there. 2006/7 is over, looooooong since over. People have moved on. 

I have not seen that in America yet. Also Sports club is not really promoted. It is not a full game either, and would do better as a retail game as well. Everyone knew about Wii Sports and Resort. Nearly no ones cares or knows about Sports club. Sad.

Everybody used to love to do the Macarena and the Spice Girls were the no.1 act in the music business once upon a time too. 

Sports Club was promoted too, I saw more commercials for it last holiday season (the Agassi Wii U family spot) several times, which is more than any other Nintendo commercial. 

Casuals are a different type of audience, they don't want to play the same game over and over again, just re-iterated upon. Something is fun for a few years, and then they move on to the new "hot" thing. Guitar Hero was the hottest thing just a few years ago too ... now the only place you can find Guitar Hero is at the bottom of a discount bin. Wii Sports/Fit is no different. Kinect Sports also didn't do jack for the XBox One. Just Dance will be the next one that's irrelevant soon too.
