Something being family "safe" and family/child orriented are not the same thing.  Given it's design style, Breath of the Wild will have the strongest appeal to late teens and young adults for example.  Super Mario Odyssey directly and deliberately follows in the footsteps of games people in their mid to late twenties will be most nostalgic for.  Xenoblade Chronicles is certainly no child's game and seems to be doing pretty well.  Nintendo's games are content safe for a wide range of ages, but their appeal is much broader and their marketing angle with the Switch has consistently favored late teens to late twenties, not children.  

my main point all there games are kid friendly, obviously adults like those games too, but imo there market is more  dependent on kids to really thrive, yes i know switch right now is selling to adults, it's 300$, and there are a lot of nintendo fans out there, but starting next year that will change. 

There is difference between game with wide apelling (game that could be played buy almost anybody) and kid friendly. And thats exatly point with most of Nintendo IPs, they could be played but hole family. Actually for next year Nintendo is aiming to increase apeling for Switch on market from mostly young adults and mostly males.

Switch intended for kids like main market!? You really don't know what are you talking about. Actualy Switch is seling better than 3DS for same time period if we talk about WW sales, it obvious that Switch can easily have much wider appealing on market compared to 3DS desipte higher price point because hybrid concept and unifided Nintendo platform (all Nintendo games on same devaice).

 

If you followed marketing of Switch and who actually mostly is using Switch, you will that actually see that we talk mostly about younger adults.

switch is selling better then 3ds because there is no home console to buy, so its getting a small boost from the nintendo fans that buy nintendo home consoles only. it also has a line up that destroys 3ds. not to mention 2 game that scored 97 on metracritic. as for switch being the kids main market, that's what i believe, there handheld line thrived because of kids, and switch will need to to the same. all there games  are based on cartoony characters that appeal to kids.

Switch is selling better than 3DS because has incomparible stronger concept and has stronger games, despite it has higher price point than 3DS. Switch are also buying people that are not Nintendo fans. You can believe whatever you want, but fact is that kids are not main Switch market, Nintendo games are appealing for hole family not just for kids, so you are obviously wrong.
