But what about the old people I see on the TV commercials swinging the golf club in Wii Sports? I think they increase the average age a lot.
29?
Must be verteran hardcore nintendo fans.
But this gen, it ranges from 5 to 55 or More easy because of Wii-Sports and Wii-Fit...
If that is true than where are the kids?
Yeah hardcore Nintendo fans is a result of this. Its not surprising with Nintendo's appealing consoles.

Has it occurred to anyone that the reason why the average age of Wii owners has grown higher is because the average person buying the console now has kids of their own who are getting into video games themselves?
It has much less to do with catering to matured tastes in gaming.
The best analogy is that Nintendo is to games what Disney is to movies. Everyone with kids will take them to see Disney movies, and most will also have a collection of Disney animated films on DVD that they can watch with their kids as well.
Does this mean that Disney makes the best movies for adults to enjoy? At best, Disney makes excellent, well developed quality films that most adults should be able to sit through, if not enjoy or appreciate. And while there are full grown adults who may still sneak into a theater to watch a Disney movie without kids for themselves, it's safe to say that most adult viewers belong to the former demographic rather than the latter.
A more plausible explanation is that of all gaming platforms, the Wii is best suited and most appropriate as a shared experience with one's children.
It's fairly easy to tell. Let's just look at the sales of licensed children games. Nickelodeon, Disney Pixar, Dreamworks tie-ins, etc. Anything multiplatform will do. If we see a consistent amount selling the most on the Wii, then it's obviously more geared towards children than the other two consoles are.

Thus, Kingdom Hearts 3 has to go Wii-side

What about install bases? If Wii install base was like 500m and Madworld sold 5 million, would you say that'd be geared towards mature audiences?
