you are making no sense, your current argument is soooooo far from what was originally being discussed that it has nothing to do with anything.

You are the person saying casuals only play super simplistic games, not Rol or I, its almost as if you are arguing with yourself.

Because uh they do? Which very casual do you know could even play Zelda: Ocarina of Time? 

Nintendo spent an entire decade trying to get these people "hooked" on basically all they're willing to play a free smartphone apps today, very few/almost none of that Wii Sports/Fit audience ever gave anything but maybe 1-2 Mario games a shot. 

You can't build a reliable audience from a demographic that fickle or inherintely opposed to basically the major foundations of game design (which is basically You die. You don't cry and bitch, you try again. And again. And again. Until you get better. If you can't do this, then gaming likely isn't for you). 

But if you want to get back to the OP's point, sure, Switch is fairly hardcore game platform. Possibly the most hardcore plaform they've made since the GameCube. And that's ok. 

once again, you are oversimplifying what a casual is
