Today also sees the launch of another hugely controversial title for a Nintendo machine, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

It is the first 18-rated game for the DS handheld, a console massively-popular with children.

Isn't the average DS user in their 30's or 40's?

Fail article is fail.

I dunno about that. The DS is massively popular with children. While it's also true that the DS is popular with everyone (except adolescents who seem to prefer the "mature" games on PSP) what the article said was true. Kids love their DS, which we can all agree on.

# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241 DS: 144

PS3: 152 PSP: 126

Wii: 85

Brilliant marketing - I hope all this controversy helps the sales. I dont get though, how the article's title is 'public sickened' but in the article itself it says there were no complaints. How is that 'sickened'?
