Well MS does handle online play infinitely better than Nintendo does... and I agree with Cloral, parental controls are a good solution. Sure, a lot of parents might not use them, or bother to look into how to use them, but if Nintendo made it clear upon purchase that the options were there, then I can't imagine they could possibly be held liable for someone else's lazy parenting. Using the Brawl example again, it just doesn't make sense that in order to protect kids, NO ONE who owns a game can chat with their opponents or add them as friends in random battles. It's an inflexible solution and an inferior one.
