Why is this needed? The market should dictate what the market wants. Games that consumers want will do well, games that consumers don't want will go to the discount bin. I guess the same can be said on the game console market too. If Sony decided to not allow certain types of characters in their games and Microsoft does then consumers will get to make a choice. If Microsoft follows Sony in restricting certain types of characters then there may be a spot in the market for another game console without those restrictions.
