And gamers are not? We were talking about a market that sells over 200 million dedicated gaming hardware every 6 years, surely it's enough to label gamers as ""general audience""

About my point, I'm completely aware kiddos and people over their 50 DGAF about sales and stuff, but neither does people from their 20-30. Most of gamers have no idea what are the best selling consoles, the best selling games and can't explain in details what are the specs running behind the hardware they are playing  

People who fight in fanwars on social media and follow sales are a very specific and niche part of gaming industry even for ""mature"" platforms like Xbox and Playstation

Again,I was specific, citing the the below 18 age demographics as I intended to exclude the adults who love to argue about sales and specs of a console on the internet. But you cited the moviegoers as an example. You have to be specific also with the kind of moviegoers with the kind of movie they love to watch.

Here:

Moviegoers=general audience regardless of age in ALL WALKS OF LIFE

Children who love animated film=specific audience who do not read movie reviews on the internet

Now, to make the story short, there are many Switch owners out there who are children who only want to play video games and find no time for console debates on the internet. Do I have numbers? No, I don't have but the sales of Pokemon and Animal Crossing speak for it.

Do PS fans and XBox fans love debates about specs? Exclusives? Features? Price? Sales? Acquisitions? Yes, they do and they love to argue endlessly.

With that, I rest my case.
