You do have to wonder what the real sales of mature rated titles would be if the ratings were strictly enforced?  A lot less I suspect.

I think that one could reasonably argue that, although the game has an M rating, the console does not. Therefore, 'twould be difficult to prevent kids from purchasing the bundle, since retailers cannot open and separate sealed products. Those children are probably just holding them boxes while waiting in line, until their parents fork out the cash at checkout.

I think it's pretty clear those two will be going straight home and playing MW3 (little buggers will probably be better than me too).

I'm not being judgemental, but I'm noting that it's a very real fact that most blockbuster games that are mature rated (Halo, Gears, God of War, etc) all rely on the fact that many of those for whom the titles are bought shouldn't actually be playing them.  As a parent myself I know plenty of kids with mature titles played on consoles bought only for the kids use.

I was also noting it in a pretty lightheated way I thought - I'm not in the club that assumes those two kids will be mass killers in real life before they can shave.

They can try to enforce who buys the games but no one, other than the parents themselves, can say who plays them. Well maybe in some contries they can. It is a rather ammusing picture though. And mute is your friend when those two are screaming at you online.
