For home consoles/PC I always felt that was bunk anyway. Like we have a Switch, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, PS4, XB1 in the house, and my fiance tried to play Fast RMX and Playstation VR in the last year ... for probably a combined 20 minutes.
But if we did a survey on who plays in the household, it would come down to an even 50/50 split, even though 99% of any gaming in front of a TV is done by me.
For smartphone games, yeah I could buy women are 50% of the market though. They love their smartphone games. There is a group of console/PC gamers who are women, and they're cool and all, but it's more realistically like 10-20% and generally speaking that group plays the same types of games as the guys do.
Something 93% of Wii U eShop users were male for example, the ratio is probably pretty similar on Switch, PS4, and XB1 too.
