What?  Read the OP before posting dude, the voters are listed by name AND company.  In fact, there are no devs from Nintendo itself in the list.  Also, your argument the casual wins would suggest the mobile games would triumph.  But all the top ones are console games.  Also the statement that devs work standard hours and therefore can't play core games is ludicrous.  Most gamers are older now and work regular hours.  Hasn't stopped the sale and popularity of massive games that require large time investments.  And the majority of games to get more than one vote are all "core" games, not casual.

mobile games werent allowed in this poll or else you would see at least one mobile game

 

direct quotes from the article linked by the OP

"Notably, while smartphone games are present, they’re definitely not dominant, and the games that received the most preferences are all console titles."

and again

"It’s worth mentioning that the fact that console games are prevalent among the preferences of the developers involved, it isn’t because creatives working on mobile games weren’t included. As a matter of fact, many of the respondents do work on smartphone titles. Looks like console games are still alive and well in Japan, at least among those that create them."
