Funny... Women have been accounted as core market in Asian countries since like always. There hasn't been exactly a lack of strong female leads. There could be more but I don't feel there's a lack.
Ubisoft did great with Aveline in ACIII: Liberation, Lara Croft just got "reborn", Lightning is a strong character and there's plenty more.
Is Microsoft just opening up to this? Maybe they have a new IP with a female protagonist. Let's hope its not kinect yoga. |
You named 3 female lead games. Now think of all the male lead games. I could name 10 new games that came out in just the last 2 weeks. Obviously we can't expect an even 50/50 ratio. That simply isn't the ratio of core female gamers vs male gamers. But it needs to be better than 95/5 which it currently is.

No it doesnt cause women dont need to play female characters just like men dont need to play only male characters.

Don't be so sure about that...
When there's no other option, it's a single player game, she's protrayed as extremely capable and looks good, playing with a female character is considered somewhat okay. But if that isn't the case expect a ton of "OMG what's wrong with you, why are you playing with a female" comments.
Edit - But if you defeat a guy with a female character in a fighting game you deal an extra 2x (number of rounds you won - number of rounds he won) +1 points of damage to his ego.
