If you look at the play styles of children you will notice remarkable differences in the way that boys and girls play, and the roles they choose to act out; many of the architypes of the roles these children act out, and the activities they choose to participate in, are observed across cultures. One could argue that there are certain activities and roles that are built into us ...

Videogames primarily focus on the activities that boys prefer, and the role playing architypes heavily favour the roles boys choose to act out; as a result of this, as girls age they become far less interested in videogames because there is little content that interests them.
