The GameCube version of Skies of arcadia is to be tuned down by Sega to make it more suitable for the GameCubes younger audience. For a moment I was almost convinced that the GC would have a wider appeal, but this move from Sega labels the machine as a kids toy, and does not help convince the wider public that the GC is there for "all" users like the PS2 or XBox.

That's a SEGA game, not a Nintendo one! Nintendo make games for everyone. Name one 'kiddy' game on the GameCube and I could name two on the PS2. And the X-Box is for everyone is it? With it's *huge* array of games including about five worth playing.

The xbox has Blinx actually, a game for all ages...
I suppose the GC is designed for all ages, its just the image the console gives....
I was gonna tell you guys about a mpeg i fond about console wars which kinda takes the mick out of nintendo in a nice way.

Look, Sega are doing it form a buisness P.O.V. Man children buy viseo games, if the game was a 15 not all children could get it, but adults could, if they set it at 11+ then people who buy there own games can normally get it, allowing them to make more money, i never play S.O.A so i don't know if it is gorey or has swear words etc but, GC is not a kids toy and if you look at every console children's games are made, the GC is the youngest and has games like Resident Evil, ED to come etc.
The Ps2 has it's bandicoot, childish, no? Adults still play them
The X-box has Shrek, the movie is funny but still it is meant for kids, but on the GC they make games that adults and kids buy, the sales chart show they know what they are doing!

I get the feeling that your trying to make this a contriversial topic so that people will reply tp it. Your schemes are not welcome here, go away.

How does making one game appeal more to younger audiences label the console a 'kiddies' machine? I would perhaps understand your statement if developers like Capcom toned down the GC Resi Evil series for a younger audience, but one game that already appealed to both ages of the gaming market!!!

Nope the way to do it is to make adult games... erm so they have done it.
The problem with Nintendo is that they do advertise adult games but in adult magazines, in my research 3 of my 4 adult adverts I am looking at are adult Nintendo games (accept mario sunshine) in playboy, the fourth is Resident Evil which isn't a Nintendo game! Nintendo don't advertise their adult games in the main stream unlike their ones aimed at younger audiences... I am looking at that now and my research is nearly complete.
