I would like confirmation of that tho. I have only seen the demographics of the switch from near launch and those were overwhelmingly the adult demographic even moreso than the PS4 and XBO.
Early adopters?
We are talking about general audiences, it's very obvious which demographics are missing from the Switch. The mindshare and who was interested or talked about the Wii is at least half different if not more so.
The only reason Switch may beat Wii is because they did nothing to retain the Wii audience as it started falling end of 2009 and collapsed at end of 2010. They also did nothing to shift to core gaming demographics.
The new age of youngsters is what's really holding Switch up otherwise it would be around ~45-50 million right now with the other demographics it has.
The Wii was hot but several gamer demographics were but a portion of that 100 million sold and kids were only like a third of it. The casual demographics from early teens to seniors and in between was insane and was THE reason it was as hot as it was for three years.
The audience buying switch wouldn't have brought 35 million Kinects switching from the Wii as the Wii audience did. Those demographics are gone
