| Spankey said: @S.T.A.G.E. not that I disagree with you, but where did you get the gender breakdown from? |
The DS breakdown came from Nintendo, more or less. They show roughly a 50/50 break. More male players, but there really isn't a system quite like it in terms of percentages among the genders. I don't even think the Wii matches it either.
As for the PSP one, I'm sure that was just a gut instinct on his part. For me, it's more interesting to see what type of person is buying the PSP, and not necessarily the gender. PSP has healthy enough sales, compare it to other portables that went up against Nintendo and compare it to the juggernaut that is DS, I think it's more than holding its own. Yet game sales don't seem to reflect that. Makes me wonder if people are buying the PSP more for it's multimedia functions, rather than a gaming system.
Or maybe not. In the age of the iPod Nano, and small cell phones, I don't see much need to lug around a PSP to listen to music or even watch movies. Maybe people do buy it to play games, but DS just sells more software along with hardware.
