Re: Almost Half of PlayStation Gamers Are Women

@nessisonett Totally agree.
What is this ridiculous attitude people have? Why do they need the numbers verified and quantified? Are they afraid that if more women are playing video games it means they don't get to play?
And I'm sorry guys, but "I've never dated a woman who liked video games", however important to your personal experience, is not representative of the world at large. It's anecdotal.

@RacistGamer I think the point that @huyi is trying to make is that by acknowledging the fact that a significant portion of gamers (whether it's 41%, 50%, 35%, or whatever) are women, there is a greater chance that games with strong, confident female characters will be made, which creates diversity in the stories being told in these games, and increases the potential for a wider, more diverse audience wanting to play.
