And no, the GameCube isn't kid oriented.

That's true today. But when I first bought the Gamecube, their entire selection of games was all kids games except for Rogue Leader and one jetski game.

Part of that perception comes from the fact that Nintendo consoles are the only place you can get the Maro and Luigi games. At Gamecube launch, Nintendo made sure that their cash cows were all lined up to come out of the gate, and their cash cows were all kids games. It took a while for more adult-oriented games to come out for the Gamecube, but now there is a good selection of them. Still not as many as PS2, but a good selection nonetheless.
