A game doesn't have to have blood or naked whores in it in order to be fun.

Nintendo makes fun games

happy birthday deejzguy...

in any case.. I never said games aren't fun if theres no blood or whores in it.

I simply said there aren't as many MATURE games out there for Nintendo then there are for Sony.... defensive.. maybe.

Nintendo themselves have said that over half of GameCube owners are over the age of 18. Of course, for the PS2, that number may be more like 75%. I haven't read anything about it, though.

I don't think Nintendo actively tries to market to a younger demographic. In fact, they are pushing games like Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 pretty hard. It's just that they are already saddled with people thinking of them as the kiddy company, and Mario games sell well...so what are you gonna do?
