I'm actually not convinced that kids really dig Nintendo that much. From what I've seen it's usually 1980's parents buying Nintendo items for their kids. The kids would literally play with anything you gave them, but because daddy grew up with Super Mario 3 and doesn't want the kids playing Grand Theft Auto, Nintendo is the answer. I've witnessed this exact thing with at least 3 of my friends. It's anecdotal, but I see it all the time on FB, too. Back when the retro NES hit, it was a bunch of adults wanting their kids to see the games they grew up with. The kids would be just as happy playing whatever is on their iPhone or iPad.
You may be onto something here, and I think I'd agree to some degree, but I've got a lot of friends who are much younger than me that picked up Nintendo products of their own accord, so there's that in play as well.
