You're forgetting that not everyone cares about gaming on the go. I much rather play games at home on my 65 inch Oled. Also, I don't think Nintendo is competing with Sony or MS in the console space. They are just targeted towards totally difference audiences. Nintendo is mainly a family friendly/ kids console while Sony and MS are aiming more for the "core" gamers. I mean my nephew loved everything Nintendo when he was 7. Now he's 11 and he's only playing ps4 and pc.

Goopy, if your nephew is 11 then he is still honestly very much a kid, playing PS4 because he wants to be "cool" (is it still like that nowadays) does not make him less of a child.

I have 12 nephews and nieces and they wouldn't be older in my eyes at 11 years old because they want to play playstation.

What defines an adult console? Because it has games like Mortal Kombat where you rip other peoples' heads off? You know very well that that doesn't make an adult of anyone. Adults like intrinsically great things, with high quality, value, challenge and meaning. Therefore, games like Breath of the Wild or Astral Chain easily fit such a category. But even if playing Mortal Kombat made more of an adult out of you, the Switch has it.

To be honest I was sure this kind of opinion died 5 years ago.

No, being an adult has nothing to do with what kind of games you play. However, there is a clear distinction in who plays what type of games and generally speaking gamers outgrow Nintendo games. Personally, I play almost any sort of game and I'm a grown ass man. I also understand that MArio and Zelda are top quality games but they are just not my cup of tea and why I wouldn't buy a Nintendo console. It's a simple fact that there isn't much of a market on ps4/360 for games like Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet & Clank etc. While on the Switch it's the other way around and there isn't much of a market for games like Mortal Kombat, GTA, Call of Duty etc.
