>>48513906>2017 Switch ownership metrics>being correct when Pokémon launched alongside a kiddy version of the unit which the survey has no mention ofYeah, because the market changed when Nintendo launched the kiddy version and Game Freak gave children a reason to cry at mummy for a Switch . If you had half a braincell, you'd understand due to child protection laws, kids under the age of 13 (the first year outside Game Freak's traditional core game target demographic) can't actually own their own email/GO account and there's still a lot of parents with boomerfuck mindsets that won't set their kids up with an online presence just yet (as in their own arsebook/similar account).
And meanwhile, the games still sell like hotcakes to the wee fuckers, merch still flies off the shelf for them and the framnchise STILL treats them as the keystone upon which they build their empire. And you sit and cry on a containment board on the sewer of the internet you got old and the machine doesn't care, as kids are easier to please and wring money out of.
