It wouldn't be that low. PC/console have a much higher male/female ratio, but it's not that huge. I'd bet 80/20 if I had to.

I don't know much about PC gaming so I can't speak about that. But JUST console gaming? I doubt it's over 5%. I mean, I've met enough people to quanitify my own polls and it's probably BELOW that number. There are "gamer girls", but in my experience, they are very rare. And even then, most of them are sort of posers and aren't any good.

Finding a girl who is a hard core console gamer that can go toe to toe with a guy core gamer is like finding gold. I wish there were more.

I think I know why you're having such a hard time finding "girl gamers"...because you have weirdly strict qualifiers. Why does she need to be good? I know several girls who play console/pc games regularly.

Even if the average is lower than in my personal experience, I bet between 10-15% of "gamers" are girls.
