Girls rule. Boys drool.

girls-rule

If you were loving all the hardcore data in Doc’s dissection of the Nielsen Report, you will also appreciate this info from the Consumer Electronics Association.  A new study indicates that there are far more women gamers in the 25-34 demographic than male gamers.

Suck on that boys!

Ok, I guess I should have mentioned that these women gamers are playing things like solitaire.  The study shows that 65% of women in the 25-34 age range play video games, while only 35% of men in that age group report playing video games.  However, women were found to be less likely to play games on consoles.  They tend to play “simple” games.  The article used the word “simple” to describe women gamers choices several times.  Sexist pigs.

Apparently women are choosing these “simple” games because they are nonviolent and not competitive.  The console powers that be are getting smart and tapping into this huge demographic.  Xbox Live Arcade has numerous games that appeal to simple, casual gamers like myself.

Girls play more games than boys.  Nana-Nana Boo-Boo.

      This is completely true. My wife is a HUGE gamer. I’d call her a hardcore gamer, even though the games she plays are casual. She easily triples the time I spend playing games on my 360.

      That’s why you play simple games.

      Ppfff You can’t get money shots… oops I mean head shots in Solitare.

      If the games are simple, then call them simple. If they are hard, call them hard. If they don’t want be described as a person who plays simple games, then they should play more complicated games. We need more female gamers(hardcore).

      BTW, if the sammich was really tasty, then I don’t think he would care about the slap.
