yep, my sister who doesn't know a thing about gaming has bought a wii with her boyfriend (who is a hardcore mmorpg player) so they can play together...
a female friend of mine also...
even my mom wants to know about wii-fit
So there you have it: the wii's succes is made possible by...
How much did they pay for the entire continent?

My step-mother who knows probably even less about video games than your sister bought a PS2. I counter your anecdotal evidence with my own.
Total domination in UK charts, too. The whole top 5 is Wii-exclusive; 15 Wii games and 15 DS games in top 40, including 18 third party games.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

That's not entire Europe I guess Nintendo is to weak and poor to buy Norway
Think twice before helping a friend in need.

You are right, Nintendo own all the major markets(UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy) but Norway and Denmark still Sony territories.

Titanic is still and by far the most successful single movie (without inflation adjusted; if inflation is adjusted it's another movie primarily appreciated by females: Gone with the Wind).
But your Lord of the Rings argument proves my point even more. The Trilogy wouldn't have been nearly as successful as it was if it didn't attract a huge male AND female audience. You can only achieve outstanding worldwide success if your products are appreciated by both genders and all ages. Other good examples are Harry Potter books & movies, Disney movies (yesterday), Pixar movies (today).
Nintendo got exactly what they had in mind when they designed the DS and the Wii: A broadened male fanbase and a new female fanbase, both of all ages.
Sony were the first to have many female fans (outside the small group of die-hard female videogamers), but they basically had only one game for them: Singstar.
There's a big difference between males and females: Females are only your fan as long as another company doesn't release something which appeals more to them. They are way less brand-focused than males when it comes to electronical products.
