See, the point is though, using the term 'kiddie' is usually derogatory towards the system. And true, Nintendo will slowly develop a larger fanbase with more casual players, but that doesn't necessarily change the stereotype that was already there.
Fanboys are already the vocal minority, and that minority certainly will shrink even smaller if the market enlarges. But there are people who will still be influenced by one-sided, biased opinions, be they gaming forums, news sites, and the like. In my opinion, Nintendo's first party games are 'age neutral', and not developed specifically with kids in mind, rather so that they appeal to a broad range. Being kid friendly, and being developed for kids are two different things, though the line between the two can get blurry. But the stereotype stands, and I just don't see it changing. There will always be a core sentiment that will slam on another system. If it's not 'Kiddie' now, it's sure to become 'waggle'.
I stated that the Xbox stereotype is shooter mainly because of the core of games that are of that category, both first and third person. When you predominantly think of Xbox, news for new games for it, that sort of thing, what comes to mind? Halo. Gears. Bioshock. Recently, Shadowrun. You could also lump in things like Crackdown, Lost Planet, GRAW, Rainbow 6 stuff... I don't own any of the three systems, but this is what I hear when I read about Xbox, shooters and driving. (Some games might be a mix of genres, but a bunch do have a shooter core to them.) One or two games won't change that. If it did, then those violent, adult titles coming to the Wii would then immediately break it of a kiddie stereotype.
Stereotypes are not an easy thing to break or change. I'd like to see more speculations on how these companies can shed some of them. (Again, bringing out a game or two doesn't really change this, it takes a lot more than simply tossing out a token game or two to fill a genre and then move on.)
