I mean, it's a hard definition to specify though. I don't think anyone would argue that Smash players are not "gamers" and the majority of gamers don't seem to care about things like these if they are even aware of it.
Gamer seems to be a weird term because most don’t consider someone playing Candy Crush a gamer. Kids playing Nintendo games are a bit of a different breed too if we go by that measure. There’s also loads of older folk that grew with some sort of Nintendo system or started to appreciate what they’re doing later on of course. Among my group of older millennials in a country with very little Nintendo presence it seems like Switch is something you buy for your children primarily.
It's interesting to see the demographic and maybe because I'm in an Asian country but among my peers, old zoomers and young millenials, it seems like any console is more for people while kids usually play games on their phone.
