Sony and Microsoft may have some games on their platforms that are friendly to all ages, but they're output is nothing like Nintendo. The Big N creates franchises that can be enjoyed by all ages, and is usually more than appropriate for even the youngest of kids. According to Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime, they're happy that Sony/Microsoft don't pay much attention to the younger crowd.

“We are happy that they don’t. It’s been an incredibly important market because the kid who’s 5 or 6 today is going to be 12 or 13 and not all that many years later 18 or 19 … And when you have an affinity for Pokémon or The Legend of Zelda series or Mario Kart or Super Mario Bros. that affinity carries with you.”
