They have more disposable income and are more well ... hardcore about their games. It's the same thing with certain Amiibos ... it was 30 year old men buying those, not kids. Same thing with the NES Classic ... virtually all adults many of whom were willing to pay 2-3x more than the sticker price. 

Nintendo's fanbase in general, while it will always have a section of kids in it is majority 20-40 year olds I would say. 

That does not explain why non nintendo games sell like 5x more launch week than Nintendo games.

If Nintendo gamers are all old rabid nestolgia gamers with huge disposable incomes, why do they not sell as much as the teeny mature games do on other systems?

I mean it may not speak for all Nintendo games but just to make sure you're not generalising Nintendo games as if they follow some strict pattern, did you see Pokemon Sun and Moon's first week sales number's? Cause it was more like the other way around.

Also if multiplats are being refered to, I think that's going to be an obvious disadvantage.

But Ninteno games do sell well all throughout the platforms life.
