> Sometimes I feel like Nintendo is becoming a brand for middle age millennials trying to relive their childhood.
As someone coming into middle-age, I relate to this. With less free time, but more money, I personally suffer from 'choice paralysis' sometimes. I almost exclusively played PC games in college, but now I don't want to use a computer after work to play games. Consoles give me simple, high-quality bursts of fun - and for less hassle than a PC. Nintendo specifically gives me that hit of nostalgia wrapped in new experiences.
Everyone has their preferences. But I've been leaning away from PC and towards consoles.
Not that I'm negating your point. The fact that I can download just about every first-party game from decades-old Nintendo console says there's something to the nostalgia theory.
My kids play minecraft on almost anything. Console wars are a foreign concept to them. The most interesting thing I found is that they don't really have love for nintendo. I bought them each a switch lite, that they don't care for at all. They do play mario kart tour on their cell phones occasionally.
