Like it or not, the majority of hardcore gaming is made up of males, so the industry (which is filled with mostly males) is going to cater to that demographic. We could see a change if more women showed an interest in computer programing and/or video game design/development, but a las the majority of them seemed to be uninterested in those type of careers.

Not as much as you'd think, no.
For example, PSP was the more hardcore handheld... yet it's ownership was > 50% Female.
Women make up about 45% of the dedicated console market.
It's just a common misconception made because most girl gamers don't identify themselves as such online / avoid mentioning they play videogames to people casually to avoid all the annoyances that go with it. (Claims of fake gamer girl etc.)
So your belief is a bit outdated.
