You're wording it wrong. It's not an issue of hardcore or casual. Most of Sony and Microsoft's audience are casual as well. The difference is that Nintendo's primary casual demographic comprises of children, parents, and families, while the PS4 and XBO's primary casual demographic consists of teenagers and young adults. Teenagers and young adults are the more lucrative audience because they buy more games and have the expendable income to spend more.
Can Nintendo ever gain that teenage/young adult demographic? Of course they can, but they are not making the appropriate moves to do that at all.
But they definitely are not more "casual" consoles than the PS4 or XBO. All three gain most of their revenue from casuals.
