"We don't feel like the Wii customer and the Xbox customer are the same thing," he said. "We think that as soon as the Wii customer turns 14 they want something else."

They are right on some fronts. I can't see anyone older than 14 playing cooking mama. Nintendo doesn't make enough mature titles for itself. Geist was there last outing and it wasnt so successful

Maybe M$ should do a demographic of the 360 user base, the average age would most probably be lower than 14. M$ should also consider the Mean little grand parents on the Wii.

Too funny, open mouth insert foot. And I have found most of the folks who salivate over a GTA release are under 20. Basically kids wanting to be "grown up".

3rd partys have made a few of them so far...

 

The Wii has as many or more M rated titles then the PS3 right now.

I'd beg to differ. They can't even use a mouse/keyboard or regular game controller proficiently. What makes motion sensing easier? Do you actually think a child under 10 could sit still long enough to even keep the Wiimote cursor on the TV screen?

Actually, it would be the older (as in really older) gamers that would find interest in Cooking Mama.

If Sony said this...and actually they have said things along the same lines, they get bashed to death.  When M$ says it, it's just soo true.  Is it M$ copying Sony day or what?  Lems, weren't the high PS3 prices and arrogancy the reason why you hate the PS3?  Oh my godness I'm having an epiphany.  I don't even know what an epiphany is!

Hey, at least MS didn't say that the Wii was for little girls like they did with Viva Pinata. And who cares what they say about the Wii? MS needs to worry about getting their 360s working first before they should be talking.

Yes when boys hit  puberty they want the most violent things possible so they can be "manly" and "cool" and then most grow out of that.

Then what will happen? and M$ was being mean to their own customers by saying 'Viva Pinata is for 12-year-old girls' ....but do 12 Year-old girls usually own a 360? Microsoft needs to fire their PR guys...

Awesome generalisations from Mr Rodman.

Whilst Nintendo has aimed for a different demographic, there is still alot of overlap. I think he would be surprised to know just how many people own, or plan to buy both consoles.
