I think it's more that once they get to high school they want to A. Play GTA and call of duty with their friends and B. The peer pressure etc to be "cool" and play violent 18+ games and not Super Mario. People grow out of that mindset after high school. |
I don't know if we have different cultural backgrounds, but I can't recall this particular behaviour in teenagers. I think teenagers are mostly playing multiplat free games such as Valorant, League of Legends and Fortnite. I see none of those games as particularly violent, they are competitive and gregarious games to play with friends that can be found in any platform and even basic PCs can run just fine. Switch (or any console for that matter) has a higher price tag, so for a teenager with no income the only way to get one is to get one from your parents, it's not far fetched that families where the parents already had a console will be played in the parents accounts instead of their children.
Once teenagers start working and/or having their own income the demographics start to rise as well with big spikes in the ages of 18 to 22. I don't see why teenagers who hate Nintendo suddenly start loving it again just 2 years later
