The reason for this was because of the decision to use cartridges. After a year or two, all the people that like mature titles had to buy a PSX to play mature games. The majority of those people bought a PS2 instead of a GC. So the GC has a smaller user base of people that like mature games. So what Bond said, was infact, a fact.
The only thing he said that was debatable was when he used CBFD as an example, because it was released at the end of the N64's life. I can understand why he used it though, because it was a good example of a mature game that sold badly, but because of it's release date it doesn't really prove the point that mature games sell badly on Nintendo consoles.
