the thing is most of those who says Nintendo consoles are kiddy are in fact the "kiddy" ones age 13-19.

 

 That's teen through adults. "Kiddies" are 12 and under.

 

Its a moving target. The older you get, the older you think someone can be and still be a kiddie. RIght now I tend to think of everyone under 21 as a kiddie; 22 through 25 is a grey zone - some are kiddies, some aren't.

Good post. Though I'm not sure if #6 is going to come true this gen. Mario has been replaced by Mii.

Well it's also Nintendo's business plan they want to appeal to everyone, if you appeal to the "kiddie" crowd you actually appeal to the young and the old crowd, if you're "mature" you generally appeal to the preteen to 28 year old, but the "kiddie" games are actually a lot more grown up and mature then the M rated games as most M rated games are made to appeal to the immature people that play video games.

The thing that MS and Sony don't seem to realize is appealing to the "mature" crowd means that these people eventually grow up, have families, and put down their controllers for good, so that means no more money from that customer, Nintendo appeals to the old and young crowds which means they have a constant flow of customers.

If you don't bring young people into a business market that market eventually crashes, a lot like how the comic book market crashed in the 90s cause all of its comics appealed to the "mature" crowd it never tried to appeal to the younger people and therefore never brought new blood into the market and the "mature" fans eventually grew up and stopped buying comic books, what happened then? The comic book industry almost died, so appealing to a "mature" crowd may please your general audience but they won't always be your general audience and you've got to get the young people into the market to survive as a business.

No, while that wasn't as clear as it could have been, the main point he was trying to make is fairly spot on
