Lionsgate president of digital media Curt Mavis is hopeful that Nintendo will launch a worldwide movie store sometime soon. In an interview with Casualgaming.biz (http://www.casualgaming.biz/news/28967/INTERVIEW-Lionsgate), Mavis explained that Lionsgate's current strategy is to sell more film and television properties through connected video game consoles.

According to Mavis, the horror and action genres are best suited for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 users, but the Wii is likely to sell more "mass-market" content, due to its "broader audience." Currently, the Nintendo Wii has streaming film and television content available in Japan (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/30/zip-ca-ceo-would-love-to-bring-new-streaming-service-to-canadi/), although rumors have been swirling that Netflix is a possibility (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/23/rumorang-survey-suggesting-netflix-on-wii-returns/) on the console Stateside. Thanks for at least stirring the pot in a different direction, Curt!http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Lionsgate imagines Wii movie store 'will launch worldwide soon' (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/25/lionsgate-imagines-wii-movie-store-will-launch-worldwide-soon/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Sat, 25 Jul 2009 11:30:00 EST.
