Are women over-represented in video games?

I have bought plenty "everyone" game to play with her, she simply doesn't like it.

phone games may be shallow and simple, but that is what her and the majority of women like. There is very easy to check numbers, those researches that come with 50/50 gamers (sometimes even more women) also make it very clear that if you were going to look at console or AAA it would make like 80% males.

Hormones also explain the type of game your brain will preffer.

You're missing my point. I don't contest at all that a lot of women are like her, I'm saying something must be wrong that a lot of women are like her, or that console games are 80% males, because everything she likes on phones has a better game on consoles, if she'd just get over the device that it's on. Does she like bullshit Disney dressup games? 3DS has Disney Magic Castle, which is basically a Disney Animal Crossing and better than anything on phones. It's like the stupid bullshit she plays on phones, but with depth and an ounce of actual fucking effort put into it. It's not my thing at all, but from a pure game design standpoint, I can see that it is a good game, far above the crap on phones. Even if hormones make her prefer that style of games, she should like the same style but higher quality ones on consoles if she'd get over her problem with playing on a console. Same with other women. Why are they so afraid of consoles? Hormones don't explain that.

Why something must be wrong?

Free game that can be played on spam of 1 min with very easy gameplay is a totally different concept than consoles and I can understand why women would preffer those spaces instead of consoles. Dolls and cars are both toys and quite similar as you handle to play, but why do female preffer one and male other even if both play with the other from time to time?
