This does raise an interesting point though - which is overall would the Wii be better without mature games or not from a pure image perceptions?

The Wii has a very clear family image right now, and is selling like hotcakes on the back of it. It's actually possible that too much negative press around more mature games would be worse for the console than not having such games, if such press influenced any potential buyers not to purchase.

I say this as from what I've seen of sales mature games sell worse on Wii compared to similar games on PS3 / 360, and it is unlikely at this point a mature game would drive sales for the console while they could actually reduce sales a little.

I also wonder whether, as the 360 struggles to appeal to fun/casual/general gamers the Wii struggles to appeal to the HC gamer associated with type of game?

Certainly however well this sells on the Wii (hopefully quite a bit as it does look good) it will be hard not to assume it would have sold more on PS3/360.

Note I'm not looking at right/wrong here - just what actually might influence sales of the Wii. As a Wii owner I'm looking forward to this game but I can see that to date mature games haven't done much for the platform and that from an image point of view (TV adverts, etc) games like this in a sense don't seem to exist for Wii.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
