You can see it in the games they make. MK8 and SSB4 are more aimed at fans of the franchise than the casual crowd. Games like Bayonetta 2, The Wonderful 101 and DKC: TF are games for core gamers. Wii Sports and WiiFit got way less attention from Nintendo this gen. Pikmin 3 and Star Fox are also proof that they wanted to cater more to the core gamers.

So you're saying there are not enough casuals buying the console because there are games that also appeal to the core fanbase?

There are plenty of fitness, music and party games both 1st and 3rd party. The casual wouldn't even know about half of the games you just mentioned.

There are games for casuals, but its nothing like the Wii. If they wanted it to be like the Wii, then the first thing they would do is pack in a Wii Sports game with the console.
