Casuals aren't buying another console in the smartphone era either. They got their fill of waggling around in front of a TV last time. Nintendo's decision to make smartphone games is basically admitting that they know they can no longer draw this crowd, so they are going to them on iPhone/Android.
So that leaves Nintendo with basically their standard fan base and the remaining kids who still want a dedicated game handheld (which is a shrinking crowd).
