| Volterra_90 said: They don't even want to try playing a Nintendo game because "they're for babies.". I love them, but they're always laughing at me because of that. And I'd add to this that kids want to grown up so fast. My cousins are already playing CoD with 10 years. And I found that very disturbing. |
Here's an anecdote of my experience yesterday, because why not. Unrelated to the rest of the thread but whatever, I don't share the same sentiments as OP anyway, or at least, I don't actually care. But I digress.
Continuing on, I know that's what the usual conclusion of people is; Nintendo is for kids, the others for 'mature' people, but yesterday I feel like it was the opposite. I was in a game store casually browsing all the shelves, when a ten(-ish) year old girl with her mom walked in. Her mom was like: "Look, Super Mario Maker, you can make your own Mario game with this." The child said: "But it's for Wii U, I only have a regular Wii." Mom responded: "Oh, so do you then want a Wii U or an XBox in your room?" The child said after some hesitation: "Uhm, the XBox."
Moments later, a group of 20-something year old guys walk in. At a glance you could even say they were 'dudebros'. One of them was like: "Hey, Super Mario Maker!" While another responded: "That's actually pretty damn cool yo." [sic] 
None of these people actually bought anything one way or another though, and the industry, for a day, lost five customers...
