Even though there are more people in the women 18-80 group than the boys 6-17 group, this is still an interesting statistic. The number of people who play in each demo is what drives what games are made. If there are more women playing than boys, then it makes sense for publishers to take that into account. It doesn't matter whether a woman is more LIKELY to play than a boy, only the raw numbers of actual players count.
