Sigh.... Always with the pidgeonholing gamers. Nintendo markets to kids, but everyone can (and does) buy Nintendo systems. The same is said for the Xbox. I find it odd that everyone seems to think that every Xbox owner is a white teenage male. I don't think everyone remembers what the biggest selling games for the last generation was: Grand Theft Auto III, VC and SA for the PS2. One could assume that the PS2 is more teen-oriented, afterall, these ultra-violent games were on PS2. Xbox has Halo and other shooters, yes, but it also has Forza, Fable, Knights of the Old Republic and Morrowind for exclusive, good-selling Xbox games. I'm an RPG gamer, and that primarily. I really enjoy my few RPGs I've had for my 360 - PSU, Oblivion, EM and Marvel:UA, and am even more excited that Sacred 2, Two Worlds, Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, and Blue Dragon are all coming out this year.... The 360 doesn't have a mold of shooters that everyone thinks it does. Yes, Gears, CoD2 and GRAW are great-selling games, but so were Oblivion, Madden and Dead Rising. Nintendo has great games that aren't entirely kid-friendly: Metroid, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Batien Katos, ect are great games I don't consider "kiddie" and Sony has games that are kid-friendly too.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
