I've never believed these are "seperate crowds" to begin with. I know many, many people who had an NES to begin with and like Mario, but just have a Playstation now. They're not willing to give up every publisher on the planet just to play games from Nintendo soley through their main gaming years, and to be honest that's a fair assesment, I understand why people would go that way.

Money is tight, realistically a lot of people only want/need 1 console, Sony or MS offered the widest variety of games, it was never anything personal against Nintendo.  

Zelda as a the killer app for Switch illustrates what the Switch can do for that older audience though, anyone who plays modern games can look at Zelda and see what it is (a giant open world RPG/adventure type game). 

That's a clear "no" as answer to my question. You go on to mention "money is tight" and "Sony/MS offer the widest variety of games" to lead into "money is not an issue and Zelda is enough."

I've wasted enough time in this thread.

I'm saying I can understand WHY in their late teens/20s a person who had been brought up on Nintendo consoles would choose instead to get a Playstation console and not everyone has the money or the desire to buy multiple consoles at that age especially. 

There's nothing wrong with a person circa 2001 saying "you know what, I'm getting a PS2, even though I loved my NES and SNES, it's time for a change". I wouldn't blame them. They're not "wrong". 

You take all this shit way too personal, get over the "message board console wars" bullshit, it's just stupid, and it's not real. These aren't street gangs with allegiances. People buy whatever suits their needs at that moment in thier life. I know people who went NES to SNES/Genesis to PS to PS2 to XBox 360 with a DS or Game Boy somewhere in there too, back to PS4, it's not that they disliked any of the previous brands, it just so happened at that time in their life that console made sense. I'm sure there tons of people like that on this very board.
