Not really a surprise given the wide range of types of games over there.

Well at least we now have an excuse for why Japanese games have gotten so shitty.

That's pretty cool. Good going Japan, especially on the developer front. Never a bad thing.

That explains those crazy RPGs like Neptunia or Project Diva.

Isn't Neptunia aimed at a male audience?

Is it? I don´t see the appeal.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Congratulations? Diversity is something I will never understand the obsession with. It's not a metric of equality. I don't care about ratios, I care about treatment. I don't care about having more female/black/asian/whatever characters, I want more well written, meaningful characters. And artists who write them as they see them, not as some arbitrary metric dictates they "should".

In short, not news to me.

Core female gamers likely matches female game developers, in other words 5-15%.

Still interesting to see just how much mobile affects japan as compared with US and UK.
