I think Switch has appeal to that audience though. Every person over 30 I've shown the system really likes it, even people who aren't neccessarily died in the wool Nintendo fanatics. The functionality of the device and ability to play relatively modern games anywhere in such a nice form factor, but still with a pretty nice display and full traditional button layout is appealling to a lot of people. IMO, games like Skyrim and NBA2K, things that normally wouldn't do well on a Nintendo console, can find an audience on Switch. |
It doesn't matter if switch as hardware is well-liked by older gamers because it's games are the most important factor in a gamer's decision. They don't give a rat's ass about gimmicks. They're less likely to buy anything that's expensive on impulse. It has to be pitched to older gamers by having having the same new 3rd party games as the other two, a few new 3rd exclusives and alot more 1st party games that are mature themed (not blood, gore and nudity) like the witcher 3 or dragon age story wise. Skyrim is really old. It's not worth bringing it up like it really adds anything of value for those older gamers to buy a switch.
