What I'm saying, smart guy, is that Wii did well with what the market would interpret as "casual" but they did well with more than just those types, and those terms are largely just bs buzzwords created by the industry and don't mean much - as they are ambiguous, ever changing, and open to interpretation. At the end of the day, it boils down to attracting consumers or not. The labels don't matter. And I see a lot more value and appeal in Switch than I ever saw in Wii U, and I don't think I'm alone. Between the library, which already looks stronger than Wii U, the portability, and versatility, I don't see a scenario in which this console doesn't at least sell moderately more than the Wii U. The strength of a mainline Pokemon title alone almost ensures decent sales. A certain contingent of people (particularly the forum dwellers) seem to think the gaming world revolves around their tastes, and AAA western third party blockbuster type games that these people constantly eat up. It doesn't..
I love also that so many random forum dwellers think they know so much more than a multibillion dollar corporation. And I'm sure once Switch sells strongly these people are going to get creative yet again and come up with another way to discredit it, just like so many were proven wrong when they were absolutely convinced the Wii was going to be a horrible failure..

You're still contradicting yourself! If the market labels a selection of customers as "casual", then that is what that selection of the market is called. You can't say the term is "just bs buzzwords created by the industry [that doesn't] mean much" when you acknowledge it actually refers to an entire market segment!! Just how exactly is it ambiguous and ever changing? Are you serious in saying "labels don't matter"? I'm guessing you don't know what a market segment is?
Also considering how many "forum dwellers" predicted the failure of the Wii U, maybe that highlights how out-of-touch Nintendo is with the modern gaming industry.

Your problem is the intepretation of casual. The casual gamer market exists, but the casual gamers market is the core market of the industry. These are the people who buy CoD and FIFA and the likes for the same reasons people watch the popular TV series or watch sports on TV.
