Nope the promotion of the WiiU says otherwise hence the unprecedented partnership with EA, the focus on games like COD, AC etc... Nintendo full on stopped catering to the new gaming crowd this is why they went to mobile the so called core group were never going to buy anything else other than an Xbox or PS platform as that's how mainstream markets tend to function. Switch is successful in spite of the cores it focuses on the wider market like they did before this is shown in the marketing as it positions itself as a platform that tailors to any gaming habit and not one particular crowd an example is the Divine Divinity 2 ad where it highlights a playing playing on the PC then needing to go out so picks up his Switch to continue his playthrough while he's out or the success of Ring Fit a game catering to the casual and new gaming crowd.
