I don't see why they can't do both.

casual market was dead when ninty annouced WiiU. it was a fad and nothing more. maybe 5-20% of that market will transition to next gen. this time, ninty will be competing for the old fan's that left them for PS2 and 360 and the core/hardcore.

Well look at the sales of Just Dance 4. I think the problem with those games is that they simple suck and those games probably didn't have enough advertising.

The market is still there and is strong. As long as tablets can't give you the party type experience or the dance experience there will be room for those casual gamers on home consoles.
