One person noted this on Twitter:

.@RangerStation Mostly men in their late 20s and 30s. A small number of middle school-aged kids with their moms showed up at opening time.

Take that for what you will.

That would be consistent with what we know. The people the most interested in the Switch are the usual Nintendo fans. Nintendo fans are not kids anymore, it's the people who grew up with Nintendo and are now in their 20s or 30s. Nintendo needs to interest a new demographic, especially kids, but they're having trouble with it. 

tbh that is the demographic you would expect to buy any console at launch really not just because it's the usual Nintendo fans.
