It looks like Nintendo will be getting all the mature customers now, because well, they'll be getting most of the gamers, lol.

And you are the one to tell all of them which games are fun and which not so much... Please. Fact is at the moment most popular are kiddy Pokemon games without top graphics, blood etc. so quit all this nonsense about mass preferences etc. Sony and MS offers much more for mature customers right now. That's the fact. You are barking all the time everyone is tired of this crap... I don't know... go and play or do something else.
I have yet to have anyone explain to me what a "mature" gamer is. From what I can tell, there are the "core" gamers and then everyone else. The only real people I think who should be concerned are the "core" gamers who are Wii owners. The 360 and PS3 have that market fairly well covered with new announcements of games everyday. Can't say the same with the Wii. That's where they're gonna hurt and in truth, Nintendo better do something about it or it will hurt them. -Darkness

I suppose, Nintendo doesn't need to brag about future games though like the competition does.

Well, that's not entirely true ... If you look at games which have sold more than 250,000 units in North America you get:

  • Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
  • Madden NFL 07
  • Red Steel
  • Call of Duty 3
  • Sonic and the Secret Rings
  • Excite Truck
  • Rayman Raving Rabbids
  • Wario Ware: Smooth Moves
  • Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
  • Super Paper Mario
  • Wii Sports

There is an interest in a wide assortment of games ...

With more mature titles Companies like Sony and MS have brought with them a backlash of the gamer demographic of 13-21 year old males who want top of the line graphics, blood & gore and immediate gratification in gameplay, people who are more comfortable playing a game that is popular than a game that is fun,

I completely agree that no one has the right to tell someone else that they shouldn't enjoy any particular game, but it's also true that you don't have the right to claim that you know what a mature customer wants.  It's not a fact that most mature customers own a PS3 or 360.  In fact, I would say age demographics are almost opposite that.  12 and under are Wii owners.  13-17 are PS3 and 360 owners (these are the majority of their customers).  18-25 are a mix of the 3, and 25 and older are usually mature gamers.  The mistake you are making is assuming that mature gamers play M rated games.  That's not the case.  Many more high school students will play a Grand Theft Auto before a 35 year old man with a wife and job will.  Most mature gamers play quality fun games, and don't care if a game has an M rating or not.

So kber is part of the ADD/ADHD crowd who equates blood and gore with good gaming and maturity, lol.

Wrong. I don't know why you assume violant game means a mature content for me. Mature content is a complexity, it's a broad storyline etc.. I don't care about label. I just hate the fact most of Wii stuff is freaking super-deformed and full of kiddy design.
