You think Nintendo, Sony, MS and Sega do it "for the kids"?

Wrong. Gaming is big business. Even for little investors. Check out this site for more analysis of the gaming industry:

I know that, but there are probably some naive kiddies out there who don't. I think that site is a good place to start when you are looking at gaming as a business, rather than a pastime.

no-one would do this as charity work. If Nintendo make games oriented around a younger audience, it's because they know it will shift units, not just because they want to keep people happy.

But mind that in order to maintain profits, they DO have to do it for the kids. They have to keep the customers happy, otherwise they can wave Mr. Revenue bye bye.
