It's not about casuals gamers, it's about the software. Games like Destiny are considered hardcore, games lik eJust Dance are casual. The first isn't even released on a Nintendo console or would sell very well, the last one does.

Even if Nintendo would release something as big as Wii Sports for Wii-U and it would sell 100M+ it doesn't influence the release or development of games like Destiny.

Why does a lack of a few games mean they shouldnt be counted?

it was an anomaly and not the product of a normal gaming market.  It had an abnormal selling pattern and sold to a different audience than ANY of the current consoles are aimed at.  In other words those people are not part of the gaming market they're just people who happened to buy one game console one time.  Hell some of the grandmas might not even be with us anymore

And how does this make the Wii a lesser console to the PS3 or Xbox 360, when both Sony and Microsoft were scrambling to rush out competing products to the Wii Controller?

Nobody's saying that it's a lesser console, but that if you want to know the actual size of the console market, and how stuff is selling compared to the size of the console market, then the Wii will make your numbers skewed because a lot of the Wii buyers won't ever buy another console.
