What exactly do they mean by 'casual gamers'? Isn't that just like saying that girls don't play games as much as guys?

I am a girl gamer and I'm kinda surprised that there aren't more girl gamers out there. Considering that females are known to be 'thinkers', you would think that solving puzzles (etc.) would intice more females to get into games. Why do you guys think games don't interest most girls?

There's certainly a few female Wii users.

Yesterday I used the statistics from one of the Everybody Vote results to work it out and 29% of respondents to the question were female.

This certainly shocks me to see these stats. To think that in today's world a majority of gamers are females??

Although, it doesn't come off as a surprise... Apparently lame is the new cool so I'm guessing maybe they are eating away at the real definition of gaming just to get a kick out of their popularity highs... or something...

I only realised a matter of days ago that my girlfriend LOVES Ocarina of Time... That explains why she has often questioned me about the Wii and Twilight Princess..

Nice find Syndicate!

**** goonties rain down more wisdom that i agree with. Lame is the new cool, exactly. IMO lame is lame, it's not cool or cute to be wearing a ****ing sesame street t-shirt around and act like a **** all the time(if ur a guy). Man if everyone decides hardcore and old school punk are in or cool I will blow my ****ing brains out. I saw some mad Danny Way footage today by the way, thinking I'll buy a new deck and get back into skating, here's to climbing and ollying off **** once more.

Haha that's what I was thinking, we don't see game girls because we don't go anywhere!!!

Both my wii and ds gets hijacked by my misses, which i'm glad she can get into now, because she couldn't play the gamecube at all, and when my friends come over as couples we all get into the wii. I think Nintendo has done well with its latest consoles make it fun for all.

this is it - i see female gamers all the time. my mates are all gamers and we get together often for a meal and a game (or just a couple of drinks). Its called having a social life away from your PC and your consoles. it can be done!!

Youre in! Maybe she was trying to tune ya!

i guess that any gaming dudes dream girl would be a gamer too. I agree that the Wii and ds has opened the doors for women/girls to enjoy games that would appeal to them.

ps. My gf doesnt really like gaming that much, she is really good at need for speed though lol.

Amen bro.
Although my ex-girlfriend sort-of used my gamecube to spike my interest... and she got mad when I let one of her friends use my 'special' wavebird controller.
