Girl Gamers On The Move

Females are playing more games these days.  From an article by Reuters:

“According to IBISWorld, 38 percent of U.S. gamers are female, up from 33 percent in just five years.

From January through August of 2008 females ages 18 to 45 made up 28 percent of the total industry revenue, ranking second to males ages 18 to 45, who made up 37 percent.

Software makers have churned out a throng of non-violent, easy-to-play games in a bid to capture so-called casual gamers — those who don’t spend a lot of time on games — and women make up a big part of that target audience.”

I say that is awesome.  My daughter, who is six, is growing up playing video games.  In fact, there are several that she can almost beat me on already.  I really hope more games will be released that will appeal to her.
