Women play more Games than Men

A STUDY compiled by the eBrain consumer research group has come out with the surprising conclusion that women play more video games than men.

The study, which can be seen here if you have a spare $500, is based on a sample provided by CNET’s GameSpot panel.

According to the study, more than 65 percent of women between the ages of 25 and 34 play video games. In comparison, only 35 percent of men in the same age range bother.

This is because women play online games found on portals such as Pogo.com, MSN.com, and Yahoo.com. Most of them are unlikely to pop down the shops or BAS6AT and buy a boxed version of Counterstrike or indulge in after-office-hours or what ever shoot-em-ups.

Apparently, the only company which has managed to snag both genders is Electronic Arts with its Pongo.com subsidiary. But more than three quarters of Pongi.com's players are women.

BTW,it Depends on what you call video games.
