64% of Online Gamers Are Female
According to a report discussed on 1up, a new study by the Nielsen folks finds that more than half of the 117 Million U.S. online gamers are women. From the article: "The study's announcement release doesn't break down what games they're playing, though we expect sites like pogo.com, which feature a multitude of Flash-based games are rather high on the list. Even more surprising is how many older gamers are playing. While the teenage market dominates in numbers, the study says more than 15 million gamers, about 8%, are actually at least 45 years old."
well, about 20% of those -say- they're women...
I think they just counted female avatars.

Actually, it's "The men are men, the women are men, and the children are FBI agents...and they're men!"
While we're at it, we need to define the word "female," as it's used online.
This is a sig. It is appended to the end of comments I post.
.. 100% of those 20% followed their survey reply with 'r U lesbAin? my PuSSy is hott 4u. wAnna cYber?'
It's rather funny that women are playing with bricks and logic, while men are playing with dolls and avatars
