From what I gather, the aim is to make parents/guardians responsible for the content they are viewing/playing, and forcing them (or anyone over 18) to be there at the time of purchase.

However, this goes against the description of the MA15+ rating...

While there hasn't been any plane-related incidents, there has been a few bombings in the past.

In the past decade alone there have been several groups charged for plotting terrorist attacks on Australian land. The most recent was in August 2009 when four men "allegedly connected with the Somali-based terrorist group al-Shabaab" were arrested for planning an attack on an army barracks near Sydney.

Well said.

If a server's running without any input, how do you gain any output?

Here's the way I see it... The name "Wii" sounds like "we", which hints at the idea that the console can be enjoyed by everyone. The two i's in the name represent two people, which also strengthens the idea that it is a console that can be enjoyed by many (i.e. think of the early promo videos from when the Wii was officially named at E3). I'm guessing that Nintendo wanted to bring the DS name in line with the Wii, but instead of adding two i's, only one would be needed since the DS can only be played by one person at a time.

I don't think it has been around for too long. From what I can remember, Sony and Microsoft have been the only companies that have been selling consoles at a loss. They also happen to be the only two companies that were well established before entering the gaming industry and have enough funds/resources to allow them to sell for a loss.
