I don't care about that really. That's like me saying... "I hate how the Wii has handled it's games this generation. They are really limiting what they can do and are only harming what we currently have"... And then going on to say "But it's Nintendo's system and i shouldn't try to intervene."

Basicly, if i don't care for it i shouldn't call it out.

It's not really like that at all. He's not actually making a value judgment on the trend of violent games. The problem with how violent games affect the way people view games is addressed specificallly here:

It's a question of how we can make the appropriate communication so that only the people who are appropriate to play with a particular game are able to play it; how we can make enough information accessible to the parents - what types of games can be played by their children.

That goes for us as video game companies - and our marketing people must be very careful as to how they are promoting which types of products to which audiences.
