Females Prefer Nintendo Wii’s: Do you agree?

Females Prefer Nintendo Wii’s: Do you agree?

By: Jamie Pert | November 27, 2009 | 1 Comment

According to a recent study carried out by Nintendo it seems that female gamers often choose Nintendo Wii’s rather than rival consoles.

Obviously as the study was carried out by Nintendo the figures may be questionable, but if true it suggest that 80 percent of females choose the Nintendo Wii, 11 percent choose the Xbox 360 and 9 percent choose the PlayStation 3.

These figures to not take into account handheld gamers, nor do they consider PC gamers. Personally I find the figures extreme hard to believe, I would have thought many females would have brought Nintendo’s for the more light hearted gaming (obviously not all woman), but I can’t see an 80 percent dominance being likely for the Wii.

    Seems like a no-brainer to me. Who buys most of the consoles and video games – Parents – and moms in particular. Women prefer the Wii because of the g-rated content in the games. They also love the fact that it doubles as a workout for them. It’s cheaper than its counterparts, fun for the kids, and acts as a workout gym for the moms.

    I know there are a bunch of hard core gamers that love their PS3s and 360s, but women do most of the buying in almost every market, and video games are no exception.
