Bu i still believe that it is maybe the best console there is.
After dreamcast that is ;-)

When I used to work at EB, I would sell it as the best console for kids, yes, but I wouldn't market it as a "kiddy console"

I just told people the truth.  If they already had a good DVD player, didn't want another one, and were just looking to have some fun in their spare time, Nintendo was the way to go.  

1)  It's durable as hell.  Someone stole the other piece from a Wavebird once, making the controller itself absolutely useless.  To vent some stress, a girl I worked with was allowed to go into the back and beat it up a little.  She said she had to chuck it with all her might for at least five minutes before something came loose inside and she got the satisfying jingle of broken equipment.

2)  Second-best graphics capability.  Sony got sloppy with a lot of their hardware and Nintendo didn't.  While X-box still has the most power and graphics that can blow you out of the water, Sony is still running in last place.

3) Fun games.  Sure, it doesn't have Sony's selection (of infinite crap RPG's, shooters, and stupid stealth games) but it does have a very fine selection of quality games.  The gamecube section is neither overwhelming nor daunting, and it's easy to find what you're looking for.  Also,  it has a choice selection of both adult AND "Everyone" games, so everyone in the family can use it.

And exactly what Green Goblin said.  "E" means "everyone", otherwise there would be no kids who found Mario Sunshine "too tough"/"stupid" and no adults who found Mario Sunshine "really fun."

Which reminds me of the time a woman came in demanding a refund because we sold her Mario Party 4 and it was "so stupid and pointless" and "how could anyone enjoy playing such a retarded game?"

Anyone who knows games will note that this is the attitude of someone who has encountered something that's too hard for them and got frustrated.  

My inner monologue said "Geez, lady, I don't think ANYONE in the WORLD hates Mario Party.  Satan would be proud."

IronOxide:
GameCube, I like. Nintendo does put out some childish games, but they are fun as all hell. In fact, if it weren't for RPGs, I would have no desire to own a Playstation 2. DAMN MY WEAKNESS! Final Fantasy VII is just so fun!

MFD:
My brother hates Mario Party.  Doesn't understand how addicting those mini-games are.

Nintendo all my life.  I seriously grew up on it, back when games kicked your ass and had you coming back for seconds.
