This is true of every system in the release window. In fact, it is basically true of every new piece of tech.

True.  Those are the ones who are going to have the disposable income to buy the nice new toy/console at launch.  It's great to sell to them, but if Nintendo wants this to be a big success, it needs to appeal to kids, too.  Kids whose parents will buy it at Xmas when the price drops.

Here's a dirty little secret though: the vast majority of Nintendo fans are adults. Even the Pokemon audience:

2DS/3DS is great for kids. Switch can be there for them when they are a little older at age 10-13 and ready to step up to something bigger.
