They are absolute masters at running their business. Everybody validates their strategy. They have zero incentive to change anything. Core gamers are the fallback option for them, they pursue Casuals first and foremost.
They always try to cater to a large casual audience when they release a new console. If it works, they go this route 100%. If it fails, they fall back on their "milking our fans" strategy. Every time they announce a new console, they seduce core gamers with a few games :
Wii U : Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, SMT x Fire Emblem all announced very early
Switch : Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, SMTV announced very early as well
Switch was a huge success for casuals, so actually releasing these games became a waste. They might as well keep them to introduce their next console. They are already thinking this way, you can be sure about it. They will use these "core gamer" games to push sales of a new hardware or hardware revision, as well as Breath of the Wild 2.
