It also was all about the rape, beating Japan at their own game by at least five or ten years.

This kind of trash is in video games now as much as its in movies and TV, and its not a coincidence that a lot of the major best-selling titles include it. Consumers are impulsive morons and sex sells. It contributes nothing to the game itself but everything to its sales, so its probably not going to change soon.

Here is a list of the top 50 selling video games worldwide in 2009.

To my knowledge, none of those have a sex scene in it.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, that's right, AC2 did have a sex scene in it, though I would argue it was about a million times classier then most sex scenes in movies.

Here is a list of the worldwide top-grossing films of 2009.

Paying attention to the top fifty, how many of those have sex scenes in them? Among movies I've seen, I count at least six, and I've only seen ten of those.

The point is, sex is far less prevalent in games than movies. It just seems to get more attention.
