Priorities

So today I was reading the news articles here on Gamespot, and found something completely asinine. It wasn't contained in any of the articles themselves, but in the comments, or I should say, in the number of comments. Two stories in particular I will use as examples. One was concerning the injunction in the Oklahoma gaming law. A judge declared that it is unconstitutional to ban the sale of violent games, which is a huge step for all gamers and developers alike. However, there was also a story in which a study predicts that the 360 will end up last in the console race. Here's the sad part. The article concerning the law in Oklahoma had 70 comments, whereas the other article had 570. Basically, the article concerning events that could have shook the video game industry to the core warranted less attention than the story concerning which console is better than the other supposedly. Now my last blog was all about the "Console Wars", so I won't harp on that all over again. What I'm saying is instead of spending so much energy bickering about what some report from a third party says, concentrate the attention on real issues so we can continue to enjoy the games we love so much.
