Well, this was bound to happen with both Sony and Microsoft releasing franchises such as Halo and God of War. The kids who grew up playing what they dub "hardcore" games that their older brothers play are franchised by either/both Sony or Microsoft at the expense of Nintendo.

Bound to happen, every kid can't grow up being franchised by Nintendo with the usual Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, and Star Fox series. Those of us who did, grew up in a simpler time with more age appropriate games. Nowadays you have bad parents who want little Johnny to shut up and not be in their face all the time throwing fits, therefore they go out and purchase him the latest Grand Theft Auto game.
