you n00bs, nintendo IS teh kiddy!!

[dork]

yup. it is...sorry. :baby:

When asked to finger the "coolest" brands, children ages 8 to 12 ranked Nintendo first, followed by Disney, McDonald's, Nike, and Hummer, researchers Decision Analyst and Hypothesis said in a recent statement outlining their "Hot or Not?" survey. As the survey pool switched to older consumers, ages 13 to 17, Nintendo slipped to the fifth slot behind (in order from number one) Nike, Hummer, Abercrombie, and Sony. Those that owned the bottom of the coolest-brand lineups were Toyota, Volkswagen, Levi's, Dell, Ford, and Starbucks for the younger group, while Ford, Levi's, Burger King, Volkswagen, and Toyota owned the cellar for the 13- to 17-year-old age group. The survey was conducted in May 2005, and tapped the opinions of 670 children and teens between the ages of 8 and 17.

[dork]

[Generosity of God]

Nintendo still cool. you pay later!!!

[Ravster]

All that will change once the Rev is out!

[Flamin Scotsman]

haha to generosity of god.. thats funny...

its true that nintnedo has alot of games which are based at childen... it doenst mean there kiddy.. it means there games are family games.. which can be enjoyed by all...
if being immature is "kiddy" then the world wouldnt have very much humour.. granted theres the arrogant dead pan, and witt.. but almost all other humour is immature.
monty python for example, is enjoyed by all ages...
is monty python kiddY?

[NanoNils]

The perception of maturity nowadays truly disturbs me.

[Lynk Former]

I think all of these kids like the GameBoy series specificially, think about it... it's small, cheap and has pokemon.

[Phoenix]

I guess Hummers are kiddy too. They're up there in the 8 to 12 poll, too.

Big fricken deal if kids think Nintendo is cool. Kids think Nike is cool. Does that make Nike a "kiddy" sneaker? Really.

All I see here is a freight train about to run out of control. Next Stop: Bannsville.

[Snarkey]

The fact that kids like nintendo makes it kiddy? I know a lot of kids who really dig sex as well.

The fact is, anybody can enjoy Nintendo games. Just because kids 8-12 like the brand, it isn't locked into one specific age group. And don't forget, fifth place isn't bad among 13-17 year olds, considering there are millions of brands out there. Then again, were there only five choices?

[Flamin Scotsman]

NIKE IS NOT COOL
ANYBODY WHO THINKS THEY ARE SHOULD BE SHOT
THE CLOTHES ARE TOTALLY UNFASHIONABLE.
minus the od sports t-shirt.

Good catch Dork.

[advancemonkey]

Because the 8 year olds love Nintendo no one else will. That is sad. I don't care if it has more kiddy games than older genre games. No one actually ever buys all the games for a console, so then Nintendo does have enough older genre games to keep the older gamers happy. People that read this and go HAHA NINTENDO IS FOR KIDS are the people that are bringing this industry down.

[Vertical Grip]

Dork gets it, the rest of you don't...

[Flamin Scotsman]

get what? that kids think its cool?
if it was a poll of the least cool brands and nintendo was voted in, you might have a point...but untill then it proves nothing except kids like the system.

[Viper]

Dork gets it, the rest of you don't...
I know a lot of kids under 12 that think porn if cool. Does that mean it's kiddy porn? (double wordplay, innuendo and pwn).

[Phoenix]

Don't forget game, set and match.
