Well, actually, I think the immaturity argument has pretty much entirely disappeared from all but the sony and microsoft fanboys, who won't buy a Wii anyway. To every system gamers who actually take the time to check out the Wii and it's game library there isn't really even a debate. Nor is it a question to casual gamers. I know quite a few adults who have purchased Wiis for themselves. As far as Nintendo trying to deal with the image they actually are not targeting kids this generation as per popular opinion. 80% of their $200 million marketing budget for the Wii is spent towards targeting adults. Most Wii commercials have many more adults in them than kids. Some have only adults. They are not focusing on the so called "kiddy" audience as offensive fanboys would like everyone to believe. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/12/nintendo-wii-marketing-to-exceed-200-million/

 Adults may be playing the Wii and DS, but that doesn't deter from the fact that Nintendo games systems still ooze "kiddy console".  Although IMHO, there is nothing wrong with that.  It's just there will be a portion of the gaming public that will not go down this avenue purely because the Wii and DS has a badge and they don't like it!

You talk about the Wii's game library though....what exactly in the library means that there is no debate with regards to have a less "kiddy" and a more "adult" console?
