Because no matter what Nintendo marketing might say, they are competing with Sony and Microsoft for userbase.

Let me put it to you this way. What is the likelihood that a PS4 or Xbox One owner owned a Nintendo console at one point in their lives? 95%? That means those users moved on from Nintendo hardware, and means Nintendo lost them as fans in favor of their competition.

PS4 owners aren't neccessarily the target audience that's the flaw in your thinking here much like 360 and PS3 audience weren't the target of the Wii. 

What exactly would be the target audience for a shoe box sized "casual" console be? Soccer moms who just absolutely need to have a 100 watt video game console? 

PS4 and XB1 do serve the needs of basically 95% of console gamers, even moreso now that there's going to be different models, the cheaper base PS4 will become marketed more towards younger players with things like more LEGO bundles, the PS4 Pro will be marketed more towards teenagers/20/30 somethings with more disposable income. Same goes for XB1 and Scorpio (see: Minecraft XB1 S bundles).
