Simple. These other media are not dominated by first and foremost violent products. If it weren't for FIFA and PES, it would look even worse.

most of the movies that do well are action oriented ones with shooting, violence etc ( the dark night was the highest grossing movie ever i believe )

furthermore wii sports is the highest selling game this gen by a wide margin

There are plenty of popular movies each year that contain little to no violence, for example comedy movies. Nearly all blockbusters in gaming feature violence as one of their defining characteristics.

Wii Sports is only one game while Call of Duty goes already into its seventh round on HD consoles later this year. Then you've got Gears of War, Battlefield and Halo among others. When it comes to non-violent games I can think of barely anything that is going to be big this holiday season and if it weren't for Nintendo, then the situation would look even worse.

"There are plenty of popular movies each year that contain little to no violence, for example comedy movies."

true, but regardless what are the more popular ones? or the ones that gross more? inevitably you will always find it to be action oriented movies with shooting, violence etc 


"When it comes to non-violent games I can think of barely anything that is going to be big this holiday season and if it weren't for Nintendo, then the situation would look even worse."

that would only be the case for someone who refused to aknowledge games like forza 4, dance central 2, sports central 2, journey, team ico collection, rachet and clank all 4 one, etc and thats just barely scraping the surface of games that nintendo has nothing to do with that aren't overly violent and as far as i'm concerned those games are also going to be big... but most likely CoD will indeed be the biggest game now that i think on it but thats no different to films like fast and the the furious 5, final destination 5 etc being more popular films 

btw isn't nintendos biggest game of the holidays zelda ss which allows people to slash their enemies with swords?
