Well, like Ken Lobb (formerly Nintendo, now MS) recently said in an interview, if anyone bothers to do some research, they'll find that the average age in the GCN user base is far higher than anybody thinks. I mean, how many kids do you know that owns a GCN compared to your friends (i'm assuming they are teens or adults..)? My twin cousins who live near here are 14 now, and they bought a PS2 last year. I told them to buy a GCN, and they wanted one too, but they got a PS2 in the end. I don't know what happened, but I'm sure it has something to do with their little friends. Of course, they regret it know, have returned all of their games such as GTA3 and such (they kept MK and FFX because MK has multi and FFX wouldn't be taken back
) and go crazy when I drop by with my GCN and Smash Bros. I'm in the 10th grade and almost everyone I know with a GCN is in high school or older. I know plenty of little brothers and such with GCNs and some crap games like Simpsons Road Rage and what have you, but I did notice that most people with a Cube are either in elementary school or high school....I really think Nintendo needs to look at this seriously, but then again, their isn't an easy way out. If they make some ghetto pimpin' GCN ads with those ha-ha losers with the "phat" music pumping (rappers I believe they've been dubbed) they might look a little cooler, but I'm sure they'll lose plenty of respect from the 15-25 year olds who grew up playing Nintendo (ie all of you and the majority of GCN owners).
