Those who "grew out" of gaming went already to Sega who labeled Nintendo as being "for kids" before Sony. Microsoft is using the same tactic as well.

What is the "kids only" logo?

Many Sega and Nintendo fans bought a PlayStation because the majority of third party games went there. Some even settled for only the PS1 because they weren't allowed to own or couldn't buy more than one console.

You are crazy in assuming that more than 50 % of PS1 owners were adults. The majority of gamers were still kids and teens.

I should have written "new adult gamers"in quotes as I menat people interested in primarily adult games not necessarily adults themselves.

Sega was very much like nintendo as their offerings were similar. They never really catered consistently to mature interests till the dreamcast.

''kids only" is a logo nintendo's competition attached to them.

Sure sega fans went PS but I'd argue against nintendo fans because they seem to love nintendos offerings far more than anything a 3rd party can ever offer over and over again. Need proof, just read your own posts on this site.

Mature interests, sure. Then you follow that with Sega didn't cater to that consistently before the Dreamcast. The Saturn had for the most part very similar games as the PS1. I fail to see how Sony's console was anymore "mature" than Sega's, except in the sheer number of games.

I have never heard of that "kids only" logo, must be an American thing. Maybe it made it's way to the UK, but not to central Europe. Not that it matters much.

I really don't think that there are many Nintendo fans like myself and I also don't think that a single person is representative for millions of gamers.

Notice how I also used the word "consistently". That may have something to do with the number of "quality titles". Maybe sega's ad campaign failed but there's a reason why sega couldn't lure anywhere near as many people as sony did. This is why sony gets the credit not sega.

I came up with the term "kids only" as a summary of what sony thought the public should think of ninty through their PR.

Yes there are millions of nintendo fans like yourself. This is why nintendo prospered during the N64 and GC eras.
