OK wait, does this include mom's buying Wii's for their child? I have a feeling it does & they are just saying this to attract more of the expanded audience -_-

If the demographic surveys worked that way, they'd show almost no children or teenagers playing any console; most of them don't have that kind of money playing around. Yet those two markets make up the biggest demographic on all consoles, and the console makers know this, so they must be conducting their polls in a way that accounts for the difference between who buys consoles and who plays them.

In other words, your tired ZOMGKIDDY attack doesn't hold water.

What attack dude?

Anyways, can u provide a link to where it shows how they come up with 51%? The OP hasn't provided a source & i really don't believe over half the ppl playing games are girls.

Im sure game dev. are livid that the Wii has stolen the female PS2 demographic. Singstar on PS3? forget about it, thats just one example of lost revenue that Sony surely relied on.

The PSP is only now trying to bring music and kids games to the system, hey guess what? Should have done it 5 yrs ago.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
