# A Solution in Search of a Problem

What is happeneing with the Xbox 360 controversy is actually a concerted attempt to make a mountain out of molehill by a group of advocates who appear to be supremely out of touch with the actual concerns of genuine consumers. Xbox 360s will continue to fly off the shelves and their owners will love the new features. It’s not the consumers clamoring for more restrictions, it’s only their protectors.
