"Especially for an older consumer, and potentially a consumer that owns a competitive console"

With regards to this statement, I actually agree with him. Nintendo isn't going to attract a different audience with more Mario or yarn-based games. The people who consider platformers to be their favorite genre probably already have a Wii U.

But a traditional style RPG? Most RPG fans probably play on another platform.

It's a pretty simple equation. If you want to expand your consumer base then you have to expand your catalog. I'd argue that Playstation is on top globally because it traditionally offers the greatest variety of games. Nintendo likely won't be able to emulate that but broadening your appeal is never a bad idea.
