@Gamine

This "smells" suspiciously like you're trying to justify your game playing.

@Gamine

No offense was meant. All I'm saying is, how come it's the statistics relevant specifically to you that you listed? Like the Average Age, the fact that most games are played by Adults etc. I'm just saying it seemed like justification.

The info is correct
But what Gamine failed to show is that by 'game playing' the article encompasses games like Hearts and Solitaire, which are played mainly by women.

For console gaming, testosterone takes the cake!

Go jo  Tongue


Girls are eager gamers

the issue of gender and gaming is an explosive one obscured by severe ideological biases. Declaring the idea that girls/women play as much as boys/men a myth is not, however, justified by the evidence. But what is surely a myth is the idea that it has been proven that girls play as much as boys.
It is fairly certain (though not entirely well-documented) that there are gender differences as to gaming preferences. In a study by Yasmin Kafai (find) boys and girls displayed clear differences in approaches to game design.
In a survey at this site, online gamers were questioned about their habits and preferences. Interestingly, only five percent of the respondents (recruited broadly) were female.
It may be that many girls play some types of games. But claiming that gender differences are slight is an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence.
To settle the issue of time spent on gaming we ´merely´ need reliable quantitative studies along the lines of standard television rating measurement. That is, we need a transparent/constant methodology, a representative sample, and a method of recruitment that satisfies standard requirements of the social sciences.
As regards young people in the late 1990s reliable numbers do exist. One ambitious research project on the media use of 6-19 year old Europeans (see selected results) revealed that 79% of boys and 48% of girls play computer games. Whereas the boys spend 57 minutes a day playing, the girls spend 24 minutes on games on average.

That is sooooooooo true. Most times when I step into some offices, I often catch them (women) playing these games and they are not always fast in hiding the game.
