I don't think shock advertising is all that effective or you'd see more of it. There are also potential negative aspects to shock advertising, like turning off family oriented buyers. I've had more than a few parents tell me they wouldn't buy a PS3 or 360 because of the perception of violent games. You can disagree with that sentiment, however it does exist and I have witnessed it first hand.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
