DO VIDEO GAMES NEED VIOLENCE TO BE POPULAR?

          I heard there is many talk going around about if video games need to have violence in them to be successful but in my and others perspectives no, no they don't. This is to inform you all reading this post why video games don't need to be violent in order to be successful.

With research I found the top 10 most popular games ever they were: Mario bros, need for speed, halo, counter strike, pac-man, street fighter, god of war, GTA (grand theft auto), resident evil, moto GP. Out of all the top ten half of them are non- violent and the other half are violent. most of these are old but now with new technology we have the power to make less bad games and more play/ joyful.

A few of the games that have sold over 50 million are:

1. Pokemon................240 mill         11. winning eleven............69 mill
2. Tetris......................215 mill         12. gran turismo.............. 61.41 mill
3. the Sims..................125 mill         13. the legend of Zelda.....59 mill
4. WII sports..............102 mill         14. ape escape.................58.9 mill
5. FIFA......................100 mill         15. dragon quest...............57 mill
6. need for speed........100 mill         16. Tom Clancy................55 mill
7. GTA ......................100 mill         17. call of duty..................55 mill
8. final fantasy..............97 mill          18. bejeweled...................50 mill
9. madden NFI............85 mill           19. crash bandicoot..........50 mill
10. sonic the hedgehog...80 mill           20. nickelodeon...............50 mill

out of all these video games there are 12 that are not violent  and the rest sorta have violent. Most of the non violent games are near the top of the list witch mean this hole list shows you that games that are not violent can still be a hit in there day and now.

In my opinion I believe that the parents are the ones who make violent games popular and make the makers want to make more violent video games. Since the parents keep buying the violent games for there kids then the makers will make more and there for the game will become popular. I'm not trying to offend all you adults out there but i think if you said "no" to your kids once in a while the violent game will be no more.

Therefor games do NOT need violents in them to become popular.So now you have read this post what do you think about games needing violents in them to become popular. You make the future you decide.
