So Gamecube & Wii U both had the intention of reclaiming "hardcore" gamers by way of 3rd party support and are Nintendo's worst selling consoles, maybe it would be wise to give up on them.

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). 

Well ur basing that off of pretty much nothing, Nintendo made a console that doesn't appeal to casuals this generation, that however doesn't mean casuals are no longer willing to buy consoles.
