I think the interesting question is the divide between "Do you game?" and "Do you consider yourself a gamer?"

My parents play games on computers and phones, but majority are related to classic gaming like chess, solitaire, majong or trivial pursuit.

They game, and do so in virtual format, but they have no clue who Miyamoto is, or what Half Life is, much less explaining trends and technical aspects of the medium.

So, I am happy gaming is becoming more open and diverse, but I still see the classic 14-40 male dominating when I go on forums or at conventions.
