I don't agree, at least this early in any generation. It's primarily adults (mostly single males in their 20s-30s) who have jobs/disposable income or bored kids in college that buy new systems. The later majority is much more made up of families
Even amongst fairly upper class families I knew growing up, the kids never bought the systems -- their parents did. Once they had the system, they'd spend their own money on games.
There hasn't been that "Wow, I know my kids really would love it if I got this system for this game they want" type moment yet because things like Call of Duty, Skylanders, even Watch Dogs and Titanfall are still available on last generation hardware.
Mario Kart 8 was the first to do anything like that. Destiny could do the same thing even if it has last gen versions too. I think Amiibo is going to seal the deal for Nintendo and families with young children.
But you're right about the price point. I think whoever gets into the sub-$300 price point first this holiday will enjoy a great sales boost
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
