You are probably right in saying that the mom may have wanted to protect her son from violent games, as I even heard Call of Duty being mentioned by the kid. But at the same time he can pick up Madworld or House of the Dead for the Wii no?
If parents are looking to protect their kids against M rated games, they need to constantly check what he is playing no matter what system he owns.
While I agree that crying when getting a videogame system is somewhat spoiled...i also believe that when giving a gift to someone, you should give them that which they want. I call this dropped ball on the parents side... The kid was 10-12 years old, they have 3-4 more years tops to be super cool parents cause after the teen angst hits, its all over...
