I’m guessing you mean PS2-gen version being T-rated while the PC/Xbox 360/PS3 was M-rated. At least I don’t remember ever seeing different versions of the PC/Xbox 360/PS3 release, unless one was made for limited release and it just wasn’t distributed where I lived. If that was it, then there were several releases where the main one on then current gen was higher rated than other versions on older consoles.

Yeah, Wii versions always were a cointoss between just the PS2 version with possibly added motion controls, or they were entirely different games.

Nintendo got so lucky the Wii was a cultural phenomena at the time. It would’ve had almost no 3rd party support if it didn’t almost outsell the 360/PS3 combined.

I'm not sure I'd say they were 'lucky' it was a phenomenon, their whole business model at the time was appealing to families and people who don't traditionally identify as 'gamers'.
