Younger gamers and female gamers are going to feel alienated if the culture of sleazy sexual glamourisation grows in a wide amount of releases.
What DOA VBX shows is that breasts can be inserted into any old genre if they wish. They don't have to be tied to a game necessarily themed around sex.
For example, would you like it if Winning Eleven had men running about in their boxer shorts with a well packed meat and two veg?
Some may find that attractive.
It's all about preference and market. Although I personally feel this surge in aesthetic sophistication is encouraging sexual explotation on a short-sighted level.
Breasts in games may help boost sales now, but it'll only end up restricting certain types of audiences in the future.
Audiences which have the potential for huge growth.

DOAVBX...
Can't see a ten or twelve year old going down to the shop to buy it.
Can't see many women or girls going to buy it either really.
If you enforce overly offensive sexual material, then obviously it's going to narrow a game's audience down.
For example, DOAVBX had sex in it so it would sell. In order to help mask what is said to be a fairly shallow game.
However, what if the next upcoming mega-hyped RPG had a heroine who only ran around in her lingerie and had a chest the size of China?
Despite the game's quality on a playing experience level, do you think people who weren't inclined to such themes would rush out and buy it, despite it's merits.
Sex is not the answer to boost sales in troubled times.
But it appears more devcos may beginning to think this way.
Ho-Hum.
