Was going after the casual crowd a bad strategy for Nintendo last gen?

[Jumpin]

How in the hell can you even consider one of the most massively successful strategies in videogame history to be a bad one? Especially coming from a company which had been effectively dead for about 5 years.

The bad strategy was not preparing correctly for the Wii U. There are way fewer games being released for the console, the first big game didn't even come out until the console was a year and a half old. On the Wii there were multiple big games released in the first year.
