The only thing I find very weird is the 86% to 11% (3% N/A) male-to-female ratio... It just seems like Nintendo has a lot of titles that should appeal to women, and that's a bizarrely bad disparity between the two.

Playstation side it cant be that bad.....

 

Quantic Foundry show gender breakdowns for each genre.

family&farm sims/Puzzle/exploration/dramastory based games/mmo's & jrpgs.

^ genre's your console needs lots off if you want to attract a female audience.

First, I've never even heard of "Match 3" lol... is there a Match 1 and 2?

Anyway, it seems to me Nintendo platforms have most of the more popular ones, but this chart definitely shows why I encounter far, far more female gamers on the PC than on consoles. The PC experience seems tailor made for women based on this chart, while some of the most popular console franchises tend to be sports and shooters.

Still, like I said it seems to me that Nintendo offers a lot of what they're looking for. Perhaps with the Pokemon and Animal Crossing games in the future they'll attract more female gamers.
