I have to agree. The day i will quit gaming is, when Nintendo goes out of business. Their games are still pretty unique compared to the games of the other consoles, even though they are 3 decade old by now. I still have some hope for the Wii U, since it started to generate a lot of positive feedback this year, mostly helped by broken and disappointing AAA releases on other platforms. I don't think it will ever start to fly off the shelves, it's too late for that, but in the end I think it will sell as much as the GC.
The funny thing is, I actually think Nintendo games tend to cater more to the hardcore gaming audience. For example, my non gaming friend has no problem playing and enjoying Tekken or BlazBlue through button mashing, but got frustrated about Smash, because it has a lot to pay attention to. Positioning, dodging, guarding, attacking at the right moment, keeping track of yourself in the chaos, etc. I think that's a bigger problem, than not having casual games on the system. 2 AssCreed was released on the Wii U with abysmal sales, while Rayman Legends sold pretty well. Go figure...
