Let\'s end the whole "kiddie" debate in here

Please read I make some good points.

This ones easy...

Adult Orientated Games - Attracts adult gamers, complex plots, mature themes.

Suitable for all ages - Just that, not nessaceraly kiddy as such but you won\'t get any of the features of an adult orientated game.

So then its all down to opinions. I personally prefer adult orientated games with deep and involving plots, to brightly colours quick action platformers. Although I did say prefer, I do like both.

As a whole I do think Nintendo are concentrating on the "Suitable of all ages" range and this will mean that on average most adult gamers may avoid the cube in favour of XBox and PS2 where the games are fun and based for their age group. Some adult gamers may get the gamecube, but the majority won\'t.

So who will buy it ? The kids of course. The games are suitable for all ages, kids like this, kids buy games and console, Nintendo\'s main revenue is from Kids, Nintendo get a reputation for being a kiddy games developer.

Are they a kiddy games developer on the whole ? Of course they are! Is this a bad thing ? Hell no, the games are still good, but I prefer to get my action from the PS2 where on the whole my mind will be challenged more.

Nuff Said!

Almost.  I just wanted to add that you should say "adult oriented" since "orientated" isn\'t a word.  Not to take away from your post - it\'s mostly on the mark - I\'m just doing my part to help educate. ;]

Actually, orientated is a word (the past tense of orientate) but you are "more" correct in that the proper word is oriented (the past tense of orient).
