| RolStoppable said: It doesn't surprise me at all, because this was visible since before launch. Here's an old thread of mine, from February 2017: https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=225876 As for the current research, people shouldn't mistake the term "non-console owners" as "first time console owners." It's not clear which console options were available in the survey (possibly only systems from the 8th and 9th gen) and the question itself only concerns consoles currently in households, so giveaways/selling off old consoles fall outside of what was asked for. A good portion of these non-console owners that Switch has are people who had a DS and/or Wii, who themselves were already commonly people who had skipped one to three home console generations of Nintendo. That these same people skipped the 3DS and Wii U wasn't a surprise when you consider how different Nintendo's 8th gen was in comparison to Nintendo's 7th gen. Likewise, it's no surprise that they've returned for Switch. |
Former gamers.
Former gamers are the people behind Wii and Ds sucess.
