That is clearly what NA gamers want because its what NA gamers buy.
NA gamers want blood, gore, sex and violence in their video games. If they can shoot someone with a 'win-button' gun then make fun of them either through tea-bagging, shouting abuse or some other means, they will love that game till the end of time.

People with real taste want a game that's enjoyable, fun and original, not "Call Of Duty 523 - Yesterdays Warfare (but with slight changes to the graphics engine)" or 'Battlefield 23 - Look Mommy I can Drive Tanks & Blow Up Buildings'.
