so is this mean that wii owners will get actually good movies and not some shit like Crank, Saw or whatever else Lionsgate produce?

Yeah, i had balked at that comment too. Wii owners are too casual for action and horror flicks, wtf?

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Thats just the way the Wii is marketted. Dont have a go at this guy, blame Nintendo for sending out that message to people.

360 gets awesome adverts for games like Gears and Resident Evil. (action/ "Hardcore" stuff)

PS3 gets adverts for... erm... well... yaknow.

Wii gets adverts with familys sat around the TV playing Big Beach Sports...

Nintendo sends out adverts with families playing Big Beach Sports? A third party title?

Also I don't see how any of that correlates to the real issue in the article, which is that somehow action movies and mass market movies/broader audience movies are not the exact same thing, because I believe they are. I can show you how Transformers is an action movie and has a massive audience of children and adults alike, is being marketed to children, and currently has a rating of PG-13, similiar to many horror movies and other action movies.

Shaun of the Dead is my favorite zombie movie ever. Just because it's funny.

Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
