Sega still interested in making Mature games for Wii |
Ó
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."

This is why SEGA isn't in the console race anymore. One bad decision after another.
yeah man keep giving M rated games to a G rated machine soon parents will be arguing how violent games are and BANG were gonna see more games banned
I was waiting for someone to say it...
...for actually not resorting to what other 3rd parties have (minigames and more minigames) and sticking to their guns. I know I for one enjoyed SEGA's efforts on the Wii.
