Nintendo products are for children lol, no shade I love my 3ds, but nintendo isnt going to miss a few chuds
Well the whole market is driven much more by “family” spending than NEET chuds.
According to a survey done by the Switch Weekly newsletter, which would probably skew more hardcore and less family than average although he seems to have pretty good reach with 3,700 responses.
40% were using a family plan for the Nintendo subscription (of the 77% total who paid for online at all). And 45% had more than one Switch in their household, so about 1/2 of the market being family driven would sound about right to me. The median amount spent on games was $35 a month while average was 52USD. 32 sounds closer to what a family might spend (a new game every 2-3 months).

Edit: Nintendo has a report from 2021.

So $35 x 12 comes out to $420 a year (har dee har har). At Switch 1 full $60 prices, that’s seven games a year. Assuming total spending stays flat, that’s 5-6 games a year at the new Switch 2 prices.
