Indeed - with the GC Nintendo have already stated that they want to aim at a broader market - that is why they are trying to get things like Resi released asap.
In the past they have deliberatley aimed themselves at younger markets hence things such as Pokemon and Gameboy - with all the marketing naunce they put behind these the made them into major successes. Also when you look at Nintendo's major game brands they again are aimed foremost at the younger gamers - though I am not disputing the fact that games like Mario Kart are great fun for older gamers like me..

The N64 was stereotyphed as a kiddies console. I disagree, the games look a little childish, but I find some of these games (Mario kart, Maio tennis, Mario party) to be really fun. We don't always need great games such as GTA3 to enjoy gaming :) Some people are already commenting on the GC as being for 3-10 year olds! What?? Each to their own..
Because in the past the majority of their products and marketing has been aimed at the younger end of the gaming market. Quite simple really.
