Wanna Win a Wii?

We all know how popular the M-rated games are on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3. But how do they fare on the Nintendo Wii? Not so well. In fact, the developers of successful mature titles on the other two platforms don’t even consider development for the Wii. Only 13 of the 392 available Wii games are mature titles, and their sales are nothing boastworthy.

Do popular mature titles like Grand Theft Auto belong on the Wii? Take a look at the demographic usage. Popular games on the Wii are notably milder – carrying Everyone or Teen ratings. Popular games on the 360 and PS3 are M-rated, and they see more revenue than titles carrying a milder rating.

All of this might change. Yesterday, Take-Two Interactive Software, the company who developed the Grand Theft Auto series and Bioshock, posted a quarterly loss. CEO Ben Feder shocked shareholders by stating they may “look at the Wii as a viable platform” for ALL of their titles. “You can’t ignore the install base. You just can’t.”

The Wii demographic is all over town but the general user base consists of women and children. Many users are also Nintendo collectors, having every console and hand held device the company has ever released. Many also use the Wii to escape the blood and gore titles seen elsewhere – a typical sentiment from moms who want fun without violence. We’ve seen the Wii used for therapy for seniors and those in nursing homes – but are these the people Take-Two intends on paying attention to?

What do YOU think?

Should There Be More M-Rated Games For the Wii?

We had a Wii for a wittle while, but it wii-mained in the box because we were a wee too busy to start playing with it. When my parents came to Seattle for Gnomedex this year, Mom mentioned that she was considering getting a Wii of her own. I offered her our unused Wii, and she reluctantly accepted.

We had a Wii without ever being wise to its Wii charms.

I’m an extremely casual gamer, and Ponzi takes casual to an entirely new level (the last time she played a video game, Nixon was in office). I’ve been motivated to pick up another Wii, if only because Super Mario Galaxy is getting tons of buzz. We’ve been happy enough with our Xbox 360s, and I haven’t ever considered a PS3 (even circulars are still selling PS2s this holiday season).

Then BIGUNITZERO did this:

So, if you have a Wii, you can make your own Ponzi Mii!
