Sega still interested in making Mature games for Wii |

Despite lukewarm initial reactions to The House of the Dead: Overkill and MadWorld, publisher Sega believes that the Nintendo Wii is still a viable platform for putting out M-rated games.
"Whilst [Overkill] had a rather sharp tail at full price, they do bubble away at a lower price point for a long time," Gary Dunn, MD of European development for Sega, told GamesIndustry. "You get your money back and a bit on full price, but over the years, if we do the final product return on investment, profits come from the lower price point."
MadWorld, another of Sega's M-rated Wii titles, similarly didn't sell all that well, but Dunn says they're still willing to take the risk of putting out another M-rated game on the squeaky-clean Nintendo console.
"You have to push boundaries and explore. I think whilst MadWorld commercially didn't sell what we were expecting I wouldn't say it's game over for mature Wii titles from Sega," said Dunn. "We're taking a look at the resources we have now. We've got money to invest in development, we're just considering where to invest it next."
