I think we need to remember that Japan is still a very different culture than the US. The 3DS is different there in that it has basically replaced the home console, they don't have the PS4/XBox like we do here, the 3DS is basically that for the Japanese market. It's also not uncommon to see rows of adults reading fantasy/adventure comics on a Japanese train, that's something you won't see in any city in North America/Europe. |
There's a huge cultural difference before. And that's one of the reasons you can't take what you see at face value. Just because you don't see many people playing a 3DS in public, doesn't mean those people don't own a 3DS that they play in privacy.
My only point is that Nintendo has many games that appeal more or less equally to men and women, so they have a diverse fanbase.
Also, apparently this study is only about the American market, which is silly enough.
