tasteless mmo games sell. especially to the average player of console games.

look at dead or alive.... especially dead or alive beach volleyball.

Its not sexist. sex sells. romance sells to teen girls. etc. And -A LOT- of teen girls have PS3s. Look how popular Ragnorok Online is. If SE could tap into that market demographic the PS3 launch could be a huge rebound and hit. This version of the game obviously didn't appeal to that many people.
