Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Games

Sega has recently taken a few attempts at developing games for the Wii that were targeted at adults rather than kids. House of the Dead: Overkill and Madworld haven't been incredibly popular, but they've done well enough to turn a profit. In Sega's eyes, this makes mature-themed games for the Wii a successful experiment, or at least one they're willing to continue. Other companies are looking to get into the act as well. EA will be releasing M-rated Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii, and Bethesda has a project in the works too.

I had a GameCube way back. I found the problem with it was the lack of mature titles as well. The other problem with the Wii is that it does not serve as a "media console". The 360 and PS3 play DVDs and MP3s out of the box. The Wii can't play anything but its own games.

and Gamecube games, and NES games, and SNES games, and Genesis games, and Neo Geo games, ...
The ignorance you display is amazing.
BTW, the Wii is the console with the least problem for now, as newsflash, it's the market leader crushing the HD consoles.
This without being a "media console".

The Wiimote is just a gimmick. If the Sony or MS did a Wiimote type controller and made games to go with (assuming the console prices and games were lower), I'm sure that if the remote is the selling point, Sony and MS would wipe Nintendo's sales off the map.

I'm not surprised you believe that, given how ignorant you are of the actual situation.
The same argument was made with price of the XB360, that once it would be below Wii's price, it would destroy it in sales, and would forced Nintendo to cut the Wii's price.
Actually, there's a XB360 cheaper than the Wii, and the Wii still vastly outsells it everywhere in the world, and the Wii's price still hasn't been cut.
I can predict your scenario is bound to fail miserably too.
Basically, the remote alone is not the selling point of the Wii, as the price alone is not the selling point of the Wii either.
