They kinda do need that casual (or should I say "Mass Market") money Luckily, Nintendo knows this and have the pieces in place to get it.
Sales are amazing but they have to make sure that the initial interest doesn't wane. PS2, Wii and DS didn't dominate by only appealing to hardcore or core gamers. They had something for everybody.
This whole side discussion kicked off because somebody said "They need a Wii Sports". They do. They need a Wii Sports. They need a Call of Duty. They need a Madden. They need an Animal Crossing. They need a Final Fantasy and Forza. They need a diverse library. The difference between being an N64 level success and being a Wii/DS level success will depend on having software that even people playing on other platforms won't want to skip.
The Switch is passing the first test with flying colors. It had a successful launch. Now I hope it has a successful life. I don't want it to be a flash in the pan.

People need to be realistic, Wii Sports is probably one kind of game in history with right hardware, game and hardware that made people playing games even in retirements homes, hardly we will see something like that ever again.

I don't think we literally meant "Wii Sports". I personally meant a mass appealing game. A phenomenon.
On Gameboy,Pokemon was Wii Sports.
On NES, Super Mario was Wii Sports.
On SNES, Street Fighter II was Wii Sports.
On Xbox, Call of Duty was Wii Sports.
On PS2, GTA III was Wii Sports.
