I guess my point is, Nintendo doesn't have to worry about the 20 year olds today who play Nintendo. Those 20 year olds grew up with NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, and Wii and they'll always be loyal to nintendo.
Nintendo has to worry about the 20 year olds who didn't grow up with Mario and Zelda.
The 10-13 year olds today growing up on Call of Duty, Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Gears of War, and Madden won't be big Nintendo fans when they are 18-24. They didn't grow up on Mario and Zelda and Miyamoto.
For many of us, Nintendo was a big part of our childhood.
But for later generations who grew up on Xbox Live, that might not be the case. And that's why Nintendo needs to fight hard for younger gamers. Because they'll grow up as loyal Nintendo fans when they get older.
You seem to be forgetting a few things, one most 20-yr-olds likely grew up playing on Playstation consoles, not Nintendo ones, & 2 Nintendo have probably the most important franchise aimed at kids; Pokemon.
