If the Gamecube only has kiddie games, why did Sony censor BMX XXX and Nintendo allow for the uncensored version?

Consoles are what people make of them. Yes, Nintendo has a reputation for putting out more games more suited for families. Does that make them "kiddie." Here's a list of games that are either out or coming out soon. Guess which systems they belong to.

-Metroid Prime
-Dead or Alive Beach Vollyball
-Outlaw Golf
-Outlaw Vollyball
-Mario Party 4
-Grand Theft Auto 3 or Vice City
-Spyro the Dragon
-Sonic Mega Collection
-Die Hard Vendetta
-Medal of Honor Frontline
-Splintered Cell

Out of all the Xbox games that are out there, how many of those games are not geared toward everyone and not specifically male or female. Sony clearly has games that are geared for a family audience. Sony has Spyro, Crash, etc. And I understand that some of those games has migrated onto the other systems. Nintendo has Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Star Fox and others.

When I say Family or Family audience, I mean that they games that are suitable for everyone in the family no matter what age they are. Games could be rated E or T.
