The Xbox is on a roll, this week. Maybe it was a good thing for them to push Kinect at E3.
I don't blame th console, of course. Its still the responsibility of the parent to determine what a kid plays as well as how much they play. My little girl will play Red Dead Redemption and Saints Row (I never said I was a great father) all day long if I let her. Half the time, she's my wingman in RE5 or Hunted--but I make her do other things. I make her go outside and play.
It's easy to use things like television and video games to baby sit or raise a kid. It's tougher to actually step in and make that kid do something productive or (God, forbid!) go outside and play WITH them. I'm sorry about the family's loss and the awareness raised will be a good thing. I just hope they don’t shift the blame to video games when the problem lies elsewhere.......
