| rapsuperstar31 said: I believe the Switch oled and Wii U deluxe were the most expensive consoles they have sold at $349 a piece. Do they dare go above that price, hopefully they don't go higher than $399 with it, especially if the specs are not a good leap ahead of the Switch. Die hard Nintendo fans are going to buy it no matter the cost, but the parents that buy consoles for their 5-10 years olds are less likely to buy it as you get up there in price. |
Parents of "5-10" year olds are less and less of Nintendo's audience as time goes on.
They can buy a Switch Lite which frankly is good enough for any 8 year old or whatever. Switch 2 will be for Nintendo's larger market which is 16+ years old and has their own disposable income (not relying on mommy/daddy to buy for them).
The 10 and under crowd is like maybe 15% of Nintendo's audience base.
This one is from Nintendo more early in the Switch's lifecycle so this one likely reflects earlier adopters better:
Very clearly, 25-34 year old males is Nintendo's no.1 market when selling the Switch early in its product cycle, with 15 year olds and below and under only representing 10% total.
