If I was a grocery store owner and I looked at the sales of marshmallow cereals, I wouldn't necessarily think that the main consumer was 30 year olds.

Nielsen actually tracks who the users are, instead of the purchasers. You think it makes sense to track who's credit card is being used on eshop?


I'm just saying that telling someone "the Wii was played by a lot of kids" is fairly obvious and useless information in this situation. I do not think that this information is sufficient to conclude that Nintendo is unable to keep its fanbase interested. We have the information that I posted about the Wii U's demographics, and we have additional information like with Pokemon games saying a large part of the audience is in the 19-24 demographic (aka people who grew up with Pokemon) collected from Club Nintendo surveys:

Also, did you look up where my demographics information came from? I assumed it was from NNID registration which asks for the user's gender and (I believe) is required for use of the Wii U eShop. Did you find information indicating otherwise?
