Most parents today used to have a SNES. And Switch is SNES reborn: Bomberman, Street Fighter 2, Mario Kart or VC games: these local multiplayer focused games remind it easily.
As a dad I can't wait to play Bomberman with my girls, 4 player Tetris, or Mario Kart with the new easy mode - designed for my wife. It's a family console, focused on multiplayer, by design. I'm not sure you realize the extent of it yet.
I think parents won't be too hard to convince, when our kids ask a Switch for Mario, Splatoon, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, etc.
It's not Nintendo's priority now, with the Zelda launch.
When the time comes though - starting this holiday season with Mario, you'll notice the messaging switch, towards family gaming.
This is my thinking, they know they'll sell 5 million off the back of Zelda, Mario Kart and launch hype. Splatoon 2 will carry them through Summer then the shift will happen with bundles, Black Friday deals and the launch of Mario Odyssey.
