I can't imagine "casual gamers" wanting to shell out $200 for the system, $45+ for each game, and then another $15 for a useable controller. It just seems like a huge hassle. I think "casual gamers" would want to get a system, maybe a game or two, and use it right away.
all right let's look at nintendo history....

The system will definitely be cheaper than Microsoft or Sony's next gen, which means more likely for a casual gamer. The joystick part will be included when you buy the system, so not any extra money. And chances are, like back in the day of say... N64, where the expansion pack was included with DK 64, and the transfer pack for GBC games came with Pokemon Stadium, if you actually need this controller, for a lot of games, it'll be included with one at some point. Who knows, maybe it'll be included with the system at the start, or more likely, as some deal after a few months.

Nintendo has always been the cheapest system, and even with these add ons, it still will be. System probably around 200, the other two probably around 400, there's still 200 dollars you saved, and i think you can spend 15 on a controller add on... Therefore, more geared towards the casual gamer, because not as much of an investment.
