I agree with Sega, Nintendo needs to start making a few mature games. I know Nintendo likes their family friendly image but they are never going to get 13-18 year old males buying their consoles if they have no hardcore/mature (whatever you want to call it) games. This is actually one of the two things keeping me from buying a Wii (the other being my budget). |
Hate to break it to you, but have you looked at the sales of consoles? Plenty of '13-18 year old males' are buying a Wii. And not just looking for 'mature rated content'. Looking for games from a variety of fields, from Mario and Zelda to Metroid and Smash Bros and even Mario Kart and Pikmin.
Spend some time on this site and you'll even see how many 'hardcore HD console gamers' have one or two major Wii games they're highly anticipating.

and you know that how?

Deductive reasoning? The Wii couldn't get to the #1 spot simply by selling to 'grannies and kids'. Especially when a lot of younger kids (between the ages of 10-14) are running out to buy XBOX360 and PS3.
Also, the fact that all three of the major console producers each year have put up demographic charts of who is buying their consoles. And all of them agree, Wii is winning because people in all markets are buying a Wii. Sometimes as just a secondary console to an HD console. But if one person buys a PS3 and another person buys a 360...but they both buy a Wii on the side, the Wii wins out.

you might dont know, but Wii DOESN'T NEED to sell to teens and kids to win in sales. Look at the DS. Most of DS owners are female and usually older than 20
|
And....your point? The DS is a completely different system than the Wii. Its a handheld. I'm talking about the Wii. And the Wii (a console, not a handheld) has completely different numbers. Roughly 25% of its demographic is female, while the rest is male, ranging in all ages (including males between 14-25).
If you don't believe me, perhaps solid numbers from this very site will convince you.

That aside, the DS is also selling to millions of people in all ages, including males between 14-25 as well. Just admit that just because you don't seem to like Wii or DS that some other people actually buy them. Because those systems couldn't get to where they are now simply selling to target demographics.
