I disagree. Don't even know how you conclude that from DKTF's sales vs MP3. 

There is an outcry for an HD matroid prime. It would at least surely move more Wii U's.

Metroid Prime 3 sold a few 100k more with an extra 90 million install base. Based on the love it gets on the internet, u would think Metroid was a huge series but it's very niche.

To be fair, I'd estimate that a little less than half of that 100m install base on the Wii would be what you'd call 'core gamers' based on the sales numbers for some of Nintendo's significant non-casual games (Animal Crossing, Smash, 3D Mario and mainline Zelda for example) compared to similar series entries on the Gamecube.  The only games I can remember off-hand that got significant boosts becuase of the casual crowd (besides casual games) were 2D platformers, Mario Kart and party games.
