For as violent a reputation as has been bestowed upon the video game industry, ‘M’ rated games only make a small percentage of their total numbers and, according to the ESRB, this small percentage is actually down 50% since 2005. Back then, 12% of titles were rated M. And in 2006, that figure was already down to 8%. In 2007, a year in which the ESRB rated 1,563 games, ‘M’ rated games only accounted for 6% of the titles.

    Damn! To me it seems that every thing is rated M except sports games, and a few other kiddie games. I guess I just like the dirt.
