Link to article: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3723107/Lad-of-20-is-killed-by-blood-clot-caused-by-playing-his-Xbox-for-up-to-12-hours-at-a-time.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=News

This news story is running in several of the major newspapers in the UK, but it was front page of this one so I linked this article.

As you can tell, the newspaper and parents of Chris blame the Xbox for his death, although I think playing for 20 hours a day is to blame. Obviously it is very sad that he died, however every console and game comes with health and safety warnings, such as taking breaks.

What do you think on the matter and is this a serious concern for other gamers, as the article states?
