I agree.
I think that's actually the crippling factor of Nintendo. It's all for kids.
The systems themselves are designed for kids. Think about it, all the real systems play DVD's, Bluray, CD's at least for Christ's sake.
The Gamecube or the Wii don't at all.
And, the PSP plays UMD's, movie files and music files. While the DS, or any Gameboy doesn't.
It seems like right now, gamers want to be able to enjoy multimedia. DVD's, movies, music, pictures, that stuff... Nintendo doesn't deliver on that at all.

Gamers want to be able to enjoy games in serious hi-def, with great graphics, and beautiful cinematics. The Wii and DS's poor graphics are like looking at sandpaper, compared to the real system's "glass shine."

Real gamers aren't wooed by the fact that Nintendo's systems are "out of the box" in their human interaction methods. Real gamers want something that is neat, but something that works, and that is put to use.
The Wii's "controller" is seriously flawed, it's absolutely horrible for anyone looking to play a game, rather than "do something with a bunch of friends." The Wii can't be made for a real gamer if it's only useful when you've got some friends over.
And, gamers want a way to control their system, that's actually going to work. The DS's second-screen is utterly useless. Anyone who's ever seen it probably said "touch-screen, that's awesome!"
And anyone who's ever played with it was left wondering "when do I get to use it?" There's no point to it, so it's really just there to grab a 10 year old's attention.

And, as we all know, gamers want to play games online. Everyone does.
Almost all the games that are popular for the PS3 and the 360 are online capable, and all the big games coming out for the systems are online capable. And out of those, they're using the online capabilities as a major selling point.
Who buys Halo 3 solely for the purpose of playing it for the one, maybe two, days it takes to beat it, and then plans to just stash it away?
All the big games, that is, all the games that've got gamers excited, are online capable.
Where are the online games?
I think you've got my point there.

And, as for the games...

You know what, I'm tired of typing. If I feel up to it tomorrow, I'll finish up.
