Wow, that made me cringe pretty hard. Especially the way they portrayed the kids.

Because 9 year olds are the real demographic for James Bond and Hunger Games
"Screw the Features, we got Minecraft and Amazon Prime instead!"

You jest, but that's strikingly close to being a true statement. Look at Call of Duty, its target audience is literally prepubescent boys.
Nine year old hipsters…

Uh… no.
For one, virtually all of the Call of Duty games carry a friggin' M rating, which strongly cautions parents against letting their children under the age of 17 play based on the content. I believe by definition that means that prepubescent boys are not the "literal" target demographic. Sure they're the reason that a fair proportion of the copies are bought, but that gives no evidence to conclude that was the developer's intent. So, your analogy is off.
And then there's the supposed "close to true statement". All of the original James Bond novels by Ian Fleming and the long-running series of films (barring a couple that are more immature and not well received, such as Die Another Day) are clearly targeted towards adults, and to suggest otherwise is pretty dumb. Yeah, The Hunger Games is a bit more arguable, but they're very definitely "young adult" novels and is marketed as such, with plenty of gory violence described throughout. The content of the films is toned down slightly (though it's visual, so on the other hand you could consider it even more intense), and in general it carries the "young adult" spirit, both being rated PG-13. Plus there's all the complex morals, messages and metaphors that 99% of nine-year-olds are not able to comprehend.
I've seen this commercial, it's unappealing. I have Amazon Prime, which is pretty good, but this commercial turns me off, especially the kids, who are now experts with phones.
