You're comparing two different systems. They may not sell well on N64, but you're looking at a totally different group of users for GameCube. some N64 owners buy one, some non-N64 owners buy one.
N64 wasn't the best system for Nintendo. Some die-hard Nintendo fans have opted to buy other systems. Some PlayStation and Xbox fans have been impressed by Gamecube and bought one. Either way, saying mature games won't sell on Gamecube is just a mere opinion, with no factual basis to back it up.
As for mature games not selling well on N64, don't blame the users. I wouldn't buy half the **** they put on that system. Can you honestly tell me N64 had a chance to sell mature games? Look at the top sellers on PSX, they were good games! RE, Dino Crisis, MGS, Blood Omen, Soul Reaver, etc. Then look at N64, it had a couple, but it never got the good titles that PSX had, so do you really expect titles to sell?
Nobody buys a game because it's rated M. They buy games because they appeal to them, because they're good games. PSX had the good mature games, N64 only had a few. If MGS was on N64, it would've sold like crazy. It didn't sell because PSX owners like mature games, it sold because the game kicked ass! GoldenEye kicked ass, and it sold like crazy. Get my point?
N64 had very few mature games that were any good, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why they didn't sell. N64 didn't get a lot of the games because they used carts, and that means they didn't get a lot of the good mature games.
