Actually, I think in this day and age, booth babes are rather insulting. The average age of a gamer is what, 35? People who always played games as kids grow up into adult gamers with kids. It's not like you can even say it's to draw in teenagers with holes in their pockets. Gamers are more intelligent than game companies give them credit for and trying to lure them in with sex appeal really insults that.
I mean, sex sells, yes, but you need to balance that with, you know, selling the actual games.
That said, I'm not against appropriate cosplay or anything or tastefully-dressed models. Just the kind of tanned, blonde, "Oops! I just spilled my water alllllll over my napkin of a white tee shirt, tee hee!"* bimbos that I'm sure prompted this. There's a difference between being lured in by a model and being lured in by a model put there to insult your intelligence because companies figure you'll be too busy ogling to notice the difference.
