I think the Wii holds more attraction to girls/women then Microsoft can ever dream of for xbox even with NATAL.

I know far more girls / women that would rather play Wii Sports (mainly bowling) and Mario Kart. I also know there are a ton of girls/women that love Animal Crossing. Microsoft has nothing to counter Mario Kart , Wii Sports , or Animal Crossing (might be a Sims on 360 but not too sure, even if that is so Animal Crossing is a little different). It will be at least 1-3 years before they even have something to counter those games which the generation would be pretty much over.

I don't think it's that women would rather play Wii Sports, or Mario Kart.
It's more of the fact that women would rather play bowling, or a kart racing game, regardless of who's branded it. Look at Carnival Games and EA Sports Active, as well as The Sims.
It's not the game - Animal Crossing, Sims, Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, but the activities they are.
Nintendo has been lucky to be the ones to majorly promote such games, and has been rewarded richly. However, I don't think that means that they are the only one that can do it, just the ones that do it right very often for their user base.

Well said, i was just about to say something along those lines.

Points taken. I suppose Nintendo has just released games in genres that girls find more interesting. The other companies are catching on and realizing that more and more girls/women are interested in gaming than they might have first thought. It isn't like Sony and Microsoft neglected them entirely but they didn't really put too much effort at the start/over the past few years. Sure some women love to play FPS, sports, etc.. but a majority are probably more into Sims type games, Kart racing, bowling, etc..
