"Nintendo has always seemed to generally target a younger audience with their exclusive games, whereas the Vita seems to hit them all"
Okay let me tell you right now, thats a load horse doodoo. If the PSV (or Sony for that matter) have been able to hit every major demographic, then why are still not as successful as Nintendo? Its sad for me to hear from others that Nintendo is for kids because they tend to market a lot of their games to not just kids but for all ages.
Nintendo has been targeting games for kids (as well as older gamers) since they emerged from the rubble from the crash of 1983. They got it right through all these years; despite GC days. I keep telling my brother who favors sony, if they don't target a wider audience (i.e. kids) They're going to be stuck with the older demographic; thats already shrinking, they're going to lose customers. They need a whole new generation of kids to replenish the market so that when they grow up, they can have a chance to try their other products. This is why IMO PSV is going to lose to the 3DS like the way the PSP lost to the DS.
Look at japan, the hardcore audience is shrinking; thats why they started to market games for casuals so that in time they would start buying more of their mainstream titles. The PSV is one badass machine, but if they keep repeating the same mistakes, the PSV is going to suffer just like the PSP did.
