@DMND Those groups do not spend enough money to support a console and the corporation that markets it. The release of the XBOX 720 and PlayStation 4 will pose a grave threat to Nintendo's profit margin.
Violent video games are available in just about every industrialized nation in the world and they don't seem to have the same problems as the U.S. Maybe its the fact the we live in highly militarized society (not unlike Rome) that fetishizes warfare and weapons. The real gun violence in America goes on in the inner cites every day and night. Recently there has been a spate of seemingly normal individuals who also happen to be young white males going on killing sprees attacking the most vulnerable targets. All of a sudden politicians and tv talking heads starting waxing about pop culture being the cause for gun violence in American when the overwhelming majority of shooting deaths occur in the poorest communities where the victims are prolific and easy for officials to ignore because they wield no economic power. It seems only be when a madman goes crazy in an affluent neighborhood that the public and airtime hungry politicians takes notice.
