FPS and RTS benefit directly from the Wii, although the later still couldn't be done well with the standard Wii controller set-up. The core games don't suffer from the Wii's limitations either really. Is Resident Evil 4 suddenly a terrible game? Absolutely not. Gameplay will always define a game more than anything else.
As for the OP, I don't think they really need to work that hard for it. If this is what sales are like with the core gamer spurned, then I don't think anyone at Nintendo is losing sleep over not having them. It is important to try and cater to as broad an audience as possible, and that is what they have been doing since release. I would guess the big talk of the E3 core gamer revival is just a side-effect of them having a few core games to announce and figured they could get some positive press out of it. I honestly don't expect more than maybe 2 games (and that is being extremely optimistic) to be announced and websites will go off clamouring about how Nintendo clearly doesn't care about the core gamer.
Looking to the future isn't going to change their mind either. The casual gamer the Wii targetted is clearly a larger market than the core gamer targetted by the 360 and PS3. Continued sales of the PS2 is also pretty strong evidence that most people do not want the latest and greatest in cutting edge technology, but want what is the most fun to play.
