Truthfully after some of the Japanese games I've encountered the idea of a XXX rated title for the Wii doesn't surprise me, but I very much doubt they would use a name anything like that, and the idea of the belt and such is pushing it.
See, the thing is that no matter how visually pleasing it is porn can't actually satisfy, it can only titillate and most people who make good porn understand this. There is no real point for someone watching porn to go through all of that to "play the game" and it would kind of defeat the purpose of porn.
Besides which porn is typically a private thing and even if alone in their home I think most people would be a bit too self conscious to do that.
*IF* there is ever a XXX rated game released like that for a console in North America (any console) chances are it will be a fairly normal game that simply has some rather intense sex in it (with perhaps more time spent on it). Something where you might play a game like Mass Effect but wind up getting a 30 minute porn clip or something, or an RPG/dating simulator combo like they have in Japan with actual graphical payoff.
Or something like the game I mentioned I'd like to develop if I ever had the money. A sandbox crime game based on over the top seriel killing as opposed to more traditional mobster/gang banger type crime. Instead of rampaging the idea would be to abduct people, do horrible things to them (sex, torture, mutilation) and dispose of the bodies without getting cornered and caught. Of course I view doing this in a sort of "horror movie" type fashion with the main character having powers they could customize, and an overall plotline in addition to these mechanics.
It wouldn't be realistic, but I could see it easily getting an X rating if you got really nasty with the sex and torture, and wanted to show penetration and such.
I starting thinking about this years ago when watching movies and discussing with friends (after RPG sessions) about how we all thought we could do better than the killers. From my classes and such a long time ago I remember hearing a bit about the various criminal networks and databases they assembled for catching killers, predicting patterns, etc... (like the old VICAPS), and thought it would be interesting to play a game where you really match your wits against something like that.
All of the sick rape and torture and stuff, is pretty much catering to my horror fan roots. To me it would be boring if your making a game to just have it involving selling drugs, or plotting jewel heists or whatever. That kind of thing has been done. But to actually make your own villain in the vein of a Freddy Kruegar, Jason Vorhees, or whatever would be like a horror fan's dream. Combine it with the above premise and I think you've got a recipe for success that would set the standards for what constitutes a "Mature" game for years to come.
... and honestly, before someone accuses me of woman hating, I'd have no real objections to female characters. Truthfully I'm all about character customization, and rate games with it far more highly than those without. If I ever made such a game, you'd have the option to make a super-psycho of any gender or ethnicity. Heck for this if it was my money and project I might even throw in Hemaphrodite (Sleep Away Camp anyone?). An option I might add that I don't think any game has had yet (genderless or self reproducing characters yes, but not really any humans with both genders at the same time... at least none I can think of as a protaganist).
