Nintendo would never forget about us! We did keep the Gamecube afloat!

But that's kind of by default isn't it? I mean the 360 is mostly has hardcore games and the PS3... well.. has no games :D (flame me sony fanboys, flame away!). I'd even go as far as to say that the Wii has the easiest run because it hit the casual market first, it's a home console, so logically dropping a few AAA hardcore gamer titles would happen no matter what, but enticing the casual market is not something that happens by default.
