So he is saying Switch it a system aimed at casuals and kids and when they grow up and get more into gaming they get more into PS4/XBO.

That is still kid shit.  Grow up and get a PC.

There isnt any reason to act like Wii did not happen, and Switch will definitely sell more than Wii U, so you are very obviously wrong.

Also even Sony executives were talking that its good for gaming market that Nintendo consoles performing good, because bringing new users to gaming industry that later could buy Sony console also.

I know Switch will sell more than the Wii U but will it be able to sell more than the 3DS+WiiU is what I'm wondering. 

It has good chance, but in any case Wii and DS sold better than GC and GBA so you are wrong in any case.

Ofcourse Nintendo's good for business. Nintendo basically sells tricycles and training wheels, which are a good step before people get their big boy console which will be a Playstation.

To bad last gen Nintendo sold more "tricycles and training wheels" than Sony sold "big boy consoles"

It's hard to take these kind of posts on a serious manner.

Reading this, I started imaging one of these bullies kids that wanna show off to the others bc he has the coolest toy.

And now those kids are buying PS4's to show to society how mature they are.

Yeah and how'd that work out for Wii U sales? The kids moved on to buy PS4s, while the grandparents who bought Wiis have moved on to their graves.

To be fair PS4 is good console and didnt had any of XB1 problems and especially huge problems Wii U had.

Wii U doesn't have anything with Wii, it was bloody mess with tons of huge problems and that's why died in 1st year and become worst selling Nintendo console ever, while Switch is very similar to Wii and its opposite to Wii U (great concept, good branding, strong and good marketing, strong system seler launch game, strong 1st year lineup with multiply system sellers games, no droughts...). On other hand in comparison with Wii U, PS4 is good console that didnt had any problems, even XB1 also had huge problems on start with always online and used games anaucments, and being more expensive and weaker than PS4.

Not everyone wants to spend a fortune on a pc and if you like to play with a controller you have no chance against mouse + keybord players in multiplayer. Consoles are mostly bought by adults who want to play some cinematic Sony exclusive like Uncharted or The Last of Us (these games have broadened the gaming audience more than anything that Nintendo did). Not only that, women and girls like those type of storybased games too. That's why Sony knows what they're doing.

Sony seems to know where the next 60 million ps4s will be sold. Thats the point behind the more casual and cheaper line of games shown off at the e3 pre show as well as the price point on things like Ratchet, Wipeout, Crash, Uncharted LL, ect

That's right, some of them are really into these games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRSTxIw9jeU&list=PLL2Bamb-ejqtpdhCV9RSAnvUIuUUG2_8D

Yeah Sony is targeting the movie and tv series audience meanwhile MS is targeting kids and teens with their colorful multiplayer games. I think the movie audience is far bigger. Adults don't have the time to spend 1000 hours in a multiplayer game.
