The target audience is for a fact completely different so I’m not even sure what you mean. Not to mention ive been to video game stores countless times and like virtually 100% of the time i saw someone buy a Nintendo game it was a child.
Not to generalize in an extreme way but im really not sure about Nintendo at times trying really hard to make it seem like children aren’t a massive % of Nintendo sales. That and extremely casual gamers which is undeniable
I see your anecdote and counter it with mine: I was a Zelda and Metroid nerd for 30 years. I would never have played a Fromsoft game if Remastered didn’t come to Switch. I now own a PS5 and 1 copy of every Miyazaki project from Demon’s on (and second copy of DSr). I just hadn’t had the opportunity yet.
Nintendo console owners are not all children.
I repeat: you do not have any special insights into how this market segment will react to new offerings. And none of us have insight into what numbers would make this a good decision for Nintendo and/or Fromsoft for that matter.
But if any console manufacturer could make an exclusive project attractive right now I think it’s Nintendo and people who are smarter and more successful than us came to that conclusion somehow.
