Duh - that's the entire point of my response (bolded parts for emphasis).  You can't ignore the PC market because it's "not console."  The game overlap is to large to do so for the industry as a whole.


My quote of AlfredoTurkey was in response to what he posted and not to what you two were discussing. If you would of asked me about my post, I would of elaborated on it. You're looking for something that wasn't there in the my posts or what you thought I intended with 'em. 

ESA should of had the stats seperate for home console, pc, handheld and mobile but they didnt. Was it because of laziness, ignorance or attempt to skew data? I don't know but the data is a misrepresentation of the core gaming market. Its like if I asked what were the sale hardware sales numbers for 2014 in the states and someone gave me the numbers for hardware sales in the states for 2014 with 2013 lumped in.  

Just for the fun of it.

Quoted from you.
"lets see - WoW has 10m subs - and they have always trended 50/50 female.  So there is 5 mil."

You're wrong. It's a bit old but it's a reliable source.

"Anecdote about women seeming to favor PC gaming"

"Post saying CONSOLES are all that count"

"I agree"

"response to both saying you can't ignore the PC as a platform as the games overlap"

"I didn't say anything about PCs!"

Honestly you are correct there is no possible way I could take "I agree" as anything more than complete adoption of the previous post - which was about PCs by being a response to a post ... about PCs.  Feel free to pretend I didn't include you in the response if this rubs your feathers the wrong way.

404 error.

 

Here is one for you...

http://www.shacknews.com/article/58076/nielsen-estimates-400000-female-world

Sample: 1,104,334 unique players in north america

Women:  428,621 of those.

39% - in 2008.

I have no idea what source your guardian article is using as it's unavailable - but Nielson is usually a reliable source. 

 here's what I meant to have there. It's an interview with Paul Sams (blizzard COO). So it's more reliable than Nielson.
 

There's a link to the interview in here

Here's a link to the interview directly
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2006/aug/31/worldofwarcraft.pcgames

To the bold part in your post, all you had to do was ask me to clarify what I meant.
