Not at all.

The notion that "sex sells" is a fact. A fact those in the business of sex don't want to reverse, nor should they want to do so. Sex is in our nature.

Now, I don't buy into the whole "Playing DOA Volleyball makes men misogynistic" theory. It goes along the same incorrect line as "Playing Counterstike trains people to murder and reduces our empathy towards it" theory. People with brains can seperate fantasty from reality, and they don't emulate, or take to heart everything they see on TV(which would be a better place to start, if you really wanted to address this "issue"). We can think, and you don't have to control what we watch, because we again, have the ability to seperate fantasy from reality, as sentient beings.

There is an episode of Penn and Tellers Bullshit, that addresses your theory directly. Youtube it. It's the one about videogames, 2009 season I believe.

I do have a question though, what crazy addition doesn't lead to a bad outcome?

It matters because it impacts our culture, the gaming industry's view towards women. Sure it may not reflect all of us but it does tend to the shallow minded demographic who view women as nothing more that sex objects. It's all over the media and male society, but it shouldn't be represented so much in games. Do you want our medium to grow up and mature? Then tell the gaming industry not to give such a simple minded and degrading view and image towards women. I don't want the artistic media to view gamers as puebescent teenagers who constantly masturbates over women with highly skimpy outfits.

I don't mind women being sexualized, but there is such thing as overkill. Most games overkill beyond belief, especially in fighting games.

Sex is part of our nature and it's one of the main reasons we exist, but the way sex is express can severly influence young people and the simple minded. Not all of us can seperate our views of what is reality and what is fiction, especially among most social outcast and people who have no idea what goes on in the real world. Sure video game violence doesn't instantly make us into cold killers, but it can make us more comfortable with violence for the good and bad. In Counter-Strike, it's a sport where one competes for skills. In games, most of us play as the good guy to use extreme methond of violence to rid of evil. In GTA, it's a different story because III to San Andreas are a satirical look of our violence loving american culture. GTA IV explores the gray moral areas of the crime life. Its contextual effects some of our views. It's not a big deal, but it's important to portray women better than with sexual glorification.

About the outcomes, watch a overly fanatical otaku hitting on an asian girl and you'll see what I mean.
