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.)

How many of these women only have consoles for the sake of Netflix, Hulu, etc? 

 

45% is a HUGE number. It's hard for me to believe that's accurate. I've played thousands upon thousands of multiplayer games in Halo (3, Reach, and 4), Mass Effect 3, etc and I've only come across a handful of female gamers. 

Only 1 female on my friends list and the rest are male. It may be anecdotal but I think it's enough for a decent sample size.

Edit: If you're going by Xbox Gold numbers, you have to have that subscription in order to watch apps such as Netflix, Vudu, Hulu, Crunchyroll, etc.

 

Ever think women gamers may avoid you because you are the type of guy that finds objectified women sexy?

 

 

Annnnd I'm done. Don't know why I bothered to respond to this thread in the first place. I wish I could take it off my VGChartz Buddy thingy.
