Games Gone Wild - The Rise Of The Adult Title?

Thanks to GameSpot for its article discussing the alleged rise of the adult videogame, despite recent statistics that revealed "sales of Mature-rated titles were on the decline." The writer notes that the ESA "may be spinning the market-share shift as an overall decline in M-rated games demand", but goes on to mention: "The same week the ESA was saying interest in M-rated games was waning, the most-searched-for game on GameSpot was [previously covered M-rated title] The Guy Game." Elsewhere, Game Girl Advance has an article talking about new German-developed PC title Singles: Flirt Up Your Life!, in which "2 out of 12 possible archetypal characters (the eponymous 'Singles') wind up living in the same apartment... Your job is to make them get it on."

I cannot believe that this piece of stereotypical BS was labelled as insightful. First of all, how about some facts to back up the sales market of the gamecube. I know that many of them are bought for younger children, but I highly doubt that many. The insinuation that most adults who own gamecubes have never gotten laid, blah blah blah. Honestly, I thought the slashdot system was designed to troll this kind of crap down immediately.
