Funny, my sister and brother-in-law, who fit perfectly into the mold you described, have a PS2. And yet, the only game they play on it is a game that I got for my brother-in-law for his birthday.
And do you know what game it is?
We Love Katamari.
Sorta shoots your point down, doesn't it?

And what little of the Gamecube is left, will be either 1) Titles made from movies, such as X-Men, Spiderman, The Incredibles, or 2) Games released on the Gamecube as a test to see how well they'll perform on other consoles. They've been doing this for years with the Dreamcast, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Gamecube became undead and obscure japanese companies made beta games on it first, just to see how it pans out.

Twilight Princess. =\
I sorta do agree with your point about the Gamecube becoming a test platform, though.

But do proper titles like Beyond Good & Evil get the attention they deserve? Psychonauts? Nooooo, it doesn't have Mario on it or the Nintendo logo.

Wasn't Psychonauts critically acclaimed? That's quite a bit of attention.

tl;dr) ESRB ratings are irrelevant, the majority of Gamecube games are for kids, games are only worth what the user gets out of them. Thread over.

If ESRB ratings are so irrelevant, then why is the government raising a big stink about (unconstitutionally) giving the ESRB the power to enforce its ratings, or closing down the ESRB and opening their own review board?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
