Nintendo's women gamers could transform market

[Jitway]

Japanese women have overtaken their male counterparts to become the biggest users of Nintendo's Wii and DS machines in a seismic shift that the company said would ''transform the video games industry''.

 

If the change repeats itself around the globe, said analysts, it could force a complete change of business model for many of the world's largest games makers.

 

According to Nintendo’s own Japan-only figures, 51 per cent of Wii users and 53 per cent of players on the handheld DS machine are women. ( That is quite a lot ).

Because this is emulation. Never said they were intelligent enough to run a emu.

Nintendo game systems always seemed feminine, with their slick exterior, and genre of games. I've actually never seen some boy playing a Nintendo DS, always some girl, tis troo.

Because japanese women can't read english

It doesn't matter. The rest of the world's ladies still won't catch up to it.

Only in Japan......

It's a step in the right direction to say the least. It's appealing and that's what counts.

To say it in unsexist way, women just don't bother. They rather it to be "plug and play"

Actually, I firmly believe everyone would rather want it easy like that. If XP was bitchin' off the bat, I wouldn't need to update it, tweak it and spit on it.
