Tetris appealed to casual gamers but it didn't really get many of those casual gamers involved heavliy enough, regardless of how many copies were sold. This was really the only game plenty of non-gamers bought back in the day.
1 or two games from the 8-bit era couldn't really make an impact into the casual market. Sports games might have, but not to the extent that Wii Sports or Wii fit has. The point isn't to make a game that attracts millions of non-gamers, it's to make those non-gamers more attracted to the console and/or games on the console. It takes just the right formula in other words.
This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*
