I don't pay much attention to movies, so if you can provide some data, it would be much appreciated. I just can't see violent blockbusters outnumber comedies, animated movies etc.
XBLA and PSN games can't be blockbusters and therefore don't matter when it comes to the public perception of the video games medium. For the average less informed person (and that's the one that matters when it comes to putting blame on video games, because they are much more numerous than the more informed ones and also more inclined to believe unfounded claims, simply because they don't know any better) those games do not exist, only the ones that get exposure through TV commercials and other general media. I hope you are able to grasp this basic concept that availability alone doesn't cut it.
Nintendo will also release Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land during the holiday season. Your qualifier (home console only) makes no sense, because we are talking about the medium as a whole. Also, cartoon and fantasy violence can be found in comedy movies and animated ones, so Zelda's violence really is of a different kind than the one found in games like Call of Duty. But a handful of Nintendo blockbusters per year aren't enough to counteract the general direction the video games industry is taking anyway.

"I just can't see violent blockbusters outnumber comedies, animated movies etc."
this explains it "I don't pay much attention to movies" but no i don't have data its just readily apparent for anyone who does
"Nintendo will also release Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D"
ok so 3 titles including the one where the guy goes around slashing monsters... both microsoft and sony are pushing more non-violent games over the holidays as i already mentioned i'll revise to exclude remakes and psn/xbl titles ok so just off the top of my head :
microsoft : kinect sports 2, dance central 2, forza 4, sesame street etc
sony : singstar back to the 80s, rachet and clank all 4 one, eyepet 2, the medievil move game

At this point it's fairly obvious that you are not really interested in the discussion at hand, but merely look for opportunities to disagree with something that I said.
I was trying to help you to understand why video games are continually blamed for crimes, that's all. But you make it into a console war thing even though I already said that what Nintendo does isn't of significance. Neither is what Microsoft and Sony do.

well when you imply stuff like how microsoft and sony are only pushing violent games and nintendo is the only one doing something to change the trend, i'll come straight out and tell you i disagree and why...
