My friend I believe you're an idiot. Sony may not actively participate in the design of these games, but they are responsible for the change in the direction of content. They went out and met with developers to get support for PSone. At that time they pitched their system along with their marketing plan and target audience. That is where they said that they'd like to reach a different audience than Nintendo, the current heavy hitter. Nintendo have done the same thing since, while there are a few M rated titles for Nintendo, their focus has always been family friendly gaming. Sony wanted to hit an older demographic, and are now both synonymous with those markets.
