Who are Wii owners? Old people? Kids? My boss? (He just got a Wii, he's soooo excited.) Capcom knows who they ain't: The "mature playerbase." In a post over at the Capcom Forums, Capcom's Senior Director of Strategic Planning & Research Christian Svensson types:

We have more titles coming to Wii than what's been announced HOWEVER, I must admit, many of them (outside of RE which has a long and successful history on Nintendo platforms) are not mature titles (edit: and by that I mean M rated titles) despite the fact that's an area Capcom is known for.

By and large, I don't see the Wii being home to a sizeable mature playerbase outside of some of the early adopters. I see it as being very, very broad with a family focus. If there is a "core player base" on Wii (and it's might be so broad, there might be no such thing as "core"), within two years, it will probably be largely a younger player (or at least younger than 360 or PS3).

Geez, I hope that doesn't mean Capcom will use the Wii as its Mega-Man dumping ground. So whaddaya think, Kotaku-land: Wii, for children? Brian Ashcraft
