Nintendo themselves have said that over half of GameCube owners are over the age of 18. Of course, for the PS2, that number may be more like 75%. I haven't read anything about it, though.

I don't think Nintendo actively tries to market to a younger demographic. In fact, they are pushing games like Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4 pretty hard. It's just that they are already saddled with people thinking of them as the kiddy company, and Mario games sell well...so what are you gonna do?
