This kind of stuff had some appeal through its novelty back in the day, but its no longer novel like it was back then. Simple minigames of this sort can be downloaded for free or a paltry 99 cents on the app store these days. That's where the Wii Sports crowd are these days, it makes no sense for them to pay $300 on a Switch and $50 for 1-2 Switch when they can get this kind of thing on the smartphone they already own for next to nothing.

But what if this story we all have been telling all this year was only partly true? WiiU had too much problems to get a conclusion like that from its fate.

I don't think it's so much the Wii U that proves it; Wii U was too expensive and not accessible enough to appeal to casuals anyway. It's more that the kind of accessible "casual" software that earned the Wii its blue ocean following is now well established on mobile devices at very low prices. People's phones are now their go-to provider for simple, pick-up-and-play stuff.
