I agree with Miyamoto, Nintendo doesn't forget hardcore gamers, take a look at this list.

Nintendo Wii games.

- Super Mario Galaxy.
- Metroid Prime 3.
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
- Mario Kart Wii.
- Battalion Wars 2.
- Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
- Excite Truck.
- Mario Strikers: Charged Football.
- Super Paper Mario.
- Super Smash Bros Brawl.
- Wii Sports.
- Wii Play.
- Wii Fit.
- Mario Party 8.
- Big Brain Academy.
- Wario Ware Smooth Moves.

 No way man those games are all attractive to casual gamers too. That is why Wii sells well it appeals to the majority of people- soccer moms, kids, elderly, teenagers, females, males, etc. Wii sells mainly due to its price advantage and its easy motion control.

Yes. The keyword is what i bolded. It appeals all you mentioned as well as the core audience, which is the whole point, just like Iwata said, that in order to succeed with Wii (as in context to what Iwata said that Wii will beat PS2 in sales), that it needs to appeal to all demographics - the "hardcore" as well as "casuals", lapsed gamers and the previous non-gamers. And by looking Nintendos game releases, they pretty much cater for all the groups. Besides, 360 has the price advantage, 199 vs. 249. So, let's talk about selling because of price advantage when 360 outsells Wii 2:1 on regular basis.
