Did the Switch finally destroy Nintendo's "Kiddie" image?

Nintendo's fan base is majority adult. That's just becoming a fact now.

The majority of people buying things like the Switch, NES Classic, SNES Classic, even Amiibos I would bet are grown adults.

Nintendo's demographics have shifted, people who grew up with the NES and SNES are now in their 30s, 40s even. But even people who were kids when they got a DS or Wii 10-12 years ago are today adults now. GameCube/N64 generation are in their 20s/30s. As generation after generation has past, Nintendo has amassed a growing and much larger adult fan base to the point where they now outnumber any number of 5-12 year olds that will be part of any generation for Nintendo IMO.

It's adult majority now. It happens in other mediums too ... at one time comic books were thought of things for children, but today probably 80%+ of comics are purchased by adults. Nintendo didn't have the same backing in the GameCube era, but they do today, enough time has passed and they've grabbed new fans every gen to add to the "lifers" they got from before that things are shifting.

Is that really fact, cause if it is then Nintendo is laughably foolish for trying to be everyone's parent still. Making a majority of their userbase suffer just because of small minority that Nintendo thinks they need treat like babies. I do remember they said something about most Switch users not being kids a while back, but that was 10 million sales ago.
