Remember most of the younger characters are aged about 2 to 3 years in the tv show since in the tv show Robert's Rebellion took place in 280-281 AL (After Aegon the Conquer Landing.) In the books Robert's Rebellion took place in 282-283 AL.
Because of this Joffrey is very near the age of 16 which is the time where he will be officially king instead of their being a regency with his mother as acting queen. It also changes the character the character of Joffrey for being 12 to 13 means he is a preteen while being 15 or 16 means he is very much in his teenage years.
Kids act differently in their preteen vs teenage years and thus some aspects of Joffrey will likely be changed as well as his relationship with other people such as his mother and his uncle Tyrion.

I am assuming they did this so that it wouldn't be to weird when he is talking about bedding sansa but really they shouldn't have had to. In the time and the world this is set in it would make sense for people to get pregnant at 13. Playing to much into the ideals of modern civilization hurts it in my opinion.

They seem to have screwed over the Cersei-Joffrey relationship.

Cersei actually seeming afraid of Joffrey is going too far, imo

It'll probably be a fall and rise thing.

Or they could get more explicit about the real power structure in Stannis' camp later *NM*

I think it was more set as a counter-point to her talk with Littlefinger
