Was she just talking about the games or also about the actual controlling of the device. Aren't men more keen than women on having the newest and coolest stuff? Or is it me who's generalizing now ;p?

Look at me, i can make the tv go on with a voice-command, I'm so kewl!

Well, my school isn  only for infographics and informatics, so maybe it's not the general demographics, but girls seems enthousiast at new console in general.

It showed off the consoles features with some of the most relevant and understandable real life examples. Forza isn't gender specific, Quantum Break seemed aimed at all types, COD is the biggest franchise around and played by lots of demographics. The sexist part is when people start claiming sport is for men only. Had Microsoft put some sort of Disney princess adventure game on I'd bet they'd be crying about how it was sexist to have such a outdated view on what women enjoy.

 

I'm not saying women don't watch sports, but well, american football really sound alpha male.

 

Anyway, to me it was more american centred than alpha male centred

You forgot dogs.

I say Sony can win if they make a Uncharted with a cat =D

but Nintendogs did way better than Nintencats



Yep, looks like alpha male all right.

Nah what are you on about? They brought women on to talk about something unrelated to the console entirely, so clearly it caters to feminists as well.

Because nintencats came later and sounded like a shitty spinoff

It's still limit the genres. I mean, RPG and Fighting games have their niches, and they are still waiting



what else did you expect ?
